*Analysis of variance ANOVA.
Legends:
λ: logarithm decrement of suppression (more than 0.65 is pathology of I Outebridge degree of the articular cartilage), β: suppression index (more than 0.85 is pathology of I Outebridge degree of the articular cartilage), T: period of oscillations (less than 0.75 is pathology of I Outebridge degree of the articular cartilage), n: number of oscillations (less than 3.00 is pathology of I Outebridge degree of the articular cartilage), and t: whole time of oscillations (less than 1.50 is pathology of I Outebridge degree of the articular cartilage).
