εmax represents strain at maximal displacement, σ15%, σ5% and σ1% the tissue stress in at 1, 5 and 15% strain, σmax tissue stress at maximal displacement (εmax), and E5% and E15% elastic moduli at 5% and 15% strain. Parameters A and B describe exponential fitting parameters of the stress strain-curves in the function σ = Aexp(B*ε) with the respective regression coefficient R2 values. Values for VS and MDS runs are based on measurements on 4 and 3 syrinxes respectively.
