Table 6.
Estimated number of polyethylene particles released per cycle for the three gait protocols at the 0.5 Mc and 2 Mc time points.
Particle Release Rate (MILLIONS per cycle) | Release Rate Relative to ISO | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Time Point | ISO | AP-L | AP-H | AP-L | AP-H |
0.5 Mc (Run-in) | 2.0 | 5.5 | 4.7 | 2.8 | 2.4 |
2 Mc (Steady-state) | 2.2 | 4.0 | 4.6 | 1.9 | 2.1 |
