Fig. 5From: Which experimental procedures influence the apparent proximal femoral stiffness? A parametric studyStiffness of the machine (Km) and the embedding (Ke) could be calculated based on the stiffness of the whole assembly (Kz), the bone (Kb), and full specimen (Ks) measured using markers (depicted in blue). These values were used to verify the methodology and the outcome variableBack to article page
