Figure 5. Force Displacement Curves.

Figure 5

Force displacement curves for a single sample over the course of the experiment. Cyclic loading increased range of motion and decreased neutral zone modulus, which recovered following hydration. Nucleotomy increased range of motion while decreasing stiffness and the amount of change in mechanical parameters caused by cyclic loading.
