The tensile and compressive modulus decrease while the permeability increases for untreated and trypsin-treated cartilage as a function of distance from the articular surface. Trypsin treatment decreases tensile and compressive modulus while increasing permeability for all cartilage zones. Parameters obtained from rate compensated nonlinear biphasic theory using indents performed at multiple displacement rates.
