Table 1:

Comparison of linear regression coefficients (Eq 1.) from the grouped data of each ligament type. The LCL exhibited slightly higher shear wave speeds than the MCL at a comparable stress, resulting in a smaller slope of the squared shear wave speed-stress relationship (Eq. 1). We did not detect a significant difference between intercept terms of each ligament type. The coefficients of determination, r2, for the simple linear regressions of grouped data were less than those for an individual specimen due to specimen-to-specimen differences.

slope (kPa/m2/s2) Intercept (kPa) r2
MCL 0.620 −645 0.81
LCL 0.507 −616 0.88
p < 0.001 p = 0.689
