Force Recordings at Different Levels of Displacements
| Displacement (mm) (n = 6) | Newtons (mean ± SD) |
|---|---|
| 0.0a | 0.25 ± 0.02 |
| 0.2 | 1.02 ± 0.06 |
| 0.4 | 1.25 ± 0.50 |
| 0.6 | 1.49 ± 0.35 |
| 0.8 | 1.52 ± 0.31 |
| 1.0 | 1.73 ± 0.44 |
| 1.2 | 1.80 ± 0.33 |
Force reading from no tissue contact during the impact cycle was defined as noise.
