Notes.

*

Humeral lengths (HL), body mass (BM), and original properties used in calculating the standardized properties are reported in Table 2, except for ZKD humeri, where three length estimates (307.4, 315.7, and 324.0 mm) and three body mass estimates (Average + 1SD = 55.3 kg, Average = 53.6 kg, Average − 1SD = 51.9 kg) were used. Bold font indicates values standardized by average length and body mass estimates.
