Table 4.

Coefficients of determination and associated p-values for comparisons of measured and predicted values of |E*| and tanδ in aged (P300 and P570) and injured (three and six weeks post-injury at P120) tendons tested at 4%, 6%, and 8% with f = 0.1 Hz. In all groups, correlations were significant for both parameters at all strain levels.
