| Case studies | Conditions | Stress–strain relationship | Velocity of Contraction A and B (cm/s) | Pressure difference ()/mmHg | Contraction force (dynes) | IAP equivalent-force (dynes) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Healthy | Nonlinear | 3.5, 1.75 | 0.5 | 1200 | 100 |
| 2 | Depressed ureteral contraction | Nonlinear | 3.5, 3.5 | 0 | 450 | 100 |
