Table 5.

Sensitivity and specificity of the selected biomechanical predictors and thresholds when compared to IHP scores from the 18 animals not used in the development of the predictors.

Spring Connector FE Model:
0.31 mm/mm > strain in 1%

Solid Element FE Model:
45.4 kPa > principal stress in 10%

Only 1 animal had an IHP score ≥ 25% in the posterior right region. Neither model predicted this single case and thus the sensitivity in this region was 0%.
