Dynamic properties from small amplitude sinusoidal oscillations
| N | Complex stiffness(kN/m2) | Ee(kN/m2) | −Ev(kN/m2) | fEv(Hz) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 11 | 240 ± 27 | 206 ± 22 | 135 ± 21 | 148 ± 9 |
| R759E-2 | 12 | 161 ± 20∗ | 143 ± 18∗ | 86 ± 11∗ | 116 ± 5∗ |
Average complex stiffness, elastic modulus (Ee), and viscous modulus (−Ev) minimum values were measured at the oscillation frequency (dip frequency) that produced the lowest value for each individual fiber. fEv is the dip frequency for the viscous modulus. All values are mean ± SE. N is the number of fibers tested.

Significantly different from control fibers (Student's t-test, p < 0.05).
