In the presented work the evaluation of the kinematic and dynamic performances of the innovative design of the loading mechanism in the hip joint wear simulatorweartesting machineis carried out. The loading mechanism is made on the basis of the accessories set for running (an electromechanical axis) produced by known FESTO Company, and provides the accuracy of reproducing the specified waveform of the applied force according to the ISO 14242 Standard. It is shown in the paper that owing to the e
