Root mean square error (RMSE) calculated between simulation results and experimental data.

a

A single RMSE value was calculated for each of the modeled strength levels. Consequently, a single RMSE value is presented for the simulations performed using the non-impaired strength model.

b

The average RMSE (± SD) is presented for the simulations performed using the five personalized, patient-specific strength models.
