... portion of the third cycle was used to measure the stiffness. Indentation tests were performed on two polyurethane foams and polymethyl-methacrylate for validation ( n = 15 ) . Regression analysis was used to compare the moduli with reference values. Subchondral bone moduli of tibial plateaus from Sprague...

... strain, impact force, leg acceleration, and computed impact force ( leg acceleration ∗ impact mass ) were investigated. Regression analysis was used to predict bone strain from six different models. Apart from leg acceleration, all variables responded to impact loading similarly. Increasing impact mass...
