Puncture Force (N) | Stiffness (N/m) | |
---|---|---|
Mean (±Std.) | 66.46 (±10.76) | 2560.82 (±252.92) |
Range of in vivo data | 43.08–79.58 | 2301.04–2889.70 |
* One patient data (Patient 4 in S1 Table) was excluded in calculation of mean (±Std.) and range of in vivo data since clear evidence of frozen shoulder (severe synovitis) was found in the arthroscopic image.
