Zonal differences in hair bundle stiffness
| Zone 1 | Zone 2 | Zone 3 | Zone 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| kB, μN/m | ||||
| Median | 1.97 | 106.41 | 30.57 | 8.88 |
| CIs | 1.66–2.29 | 99.56–113.26 | 6.30–54.84 | 7.11–10.65 |
| Range | 1.83–2.11 | 63.50–161.02 | 10.66–147.85 | 1.77–25.69 |
| kP, μN/m | ||||
| Median | 25.67 | 140.85 | 45.49 | 8.85 |
| CIs | 21.85–29.49 | 126.76–156.94 | 21.78–69.20 | 6.00–11.69 |
| Range | 23.95–27.38 | 79.82–200.08 | 17.84–160.74 | 3.43–35.36 |
Values are median, 95% confidence intervals of the median (CIs), and range for 2 measures of hair bundle stiffness [measured bundle stiffness (kB), physiological stiffness (kP)] in zones 1–4. Nonoverlapping CIs suggest significant differences between groups.
