FIG. 1.

Linear unicompartmental model (resistive-elastic model). A: anatomical representation: tube with resistance (R) and ballon with elastance (E). B: mechanical representation characterized by a dashpot with Newtonian resistance (R) in parallel with a spring with elastance (E) submitted to the same deformation volume (V).
