Figure 4

Maximum/minimum principal strain along surface path (top) and internal path (bottom) of the lateral (left) and medial (right) femoral bone at 45% of the gait cycle for different SP-CL design features and intact bone. Cranial-caudal path summarized with moving average, single measurement points shown as transparent circles demonstrating large variance with position.
