TODO - A simple constitutive equation is presented to describe the non-linear
load-displacement behavior of the Scapholunate ligament. The model is
based on an elastic large strain probabilistic constitutive equation and
has been formulated offering three characteristic constants.
Experimental data from five human cadaveric Scapholunate ligaments were
used to corroborate the accuracy of the model. Good correlation (r(2) =
0.90-0.98) was found with the experimental data. Representative
characteristic constants for the human Scapholunate ligament based on
the model were determined. (c) 2012 IPEM. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All
