Table 6.

Comparison of only the static parameter or, a single frequency measurement, of the shear modulus of human skin to literature. Only the static parameter could be compared to literature that did not use a model, as μ0 is the static shear modulus. Reference [16] had a significant number of data points to possibly compare; this particular point was chosen for similarity in measurement site, and comparison to normal skin.

The last column is a comparison of the current study, μ0, to the listed references for each model used giving a range from least to greatest, comparison is a simple ratio (μ0 Ref)/(μ0 Current).
