Table 1.

Cruciate ligament stiffness (K) and reference strain (EREF) properties applied to FE simulations Bounds and mean ±1 standard deviation for ACL stiffness [29], PCL stiffness [30], and reference strain [17] were obtained from the literature. Calibrated values describe the final set of parameters used for subject-specific simulation.
