Fig. 4From: Compression-rate-dependent nonlinear mechanics of normal and impaired porcine knee jointsInfluence of meniscectomy on the load support of the joint. The joint was first tested with intact joint capsule (I) and then after meniscectomy (M). a Typical reaction force as a function of compression for three compression rates, 10, 100 and 1000 μm/s respectively; b Normalized reaction force at 1200-μm compression: the force was normalized by the maximum obtained, respectively, from the intact and meniscectomized jointBack to article page
