PID2020-113790RB-I00 data set: relaxation curves during distraction osteogenesis in sheep metatarsus

This data set consist of two types of matlab files that contains the force measurements by sensors installed in the external fixator described in a work which aims to provide a viscoelastic model to the force relaxation during daily distractions in a bone transport process [1]. The data presented here allows to reproduce the relaxations curved fitted in this publication to obtain the viscoelastic model. Type of files: f_dist_XXX.mat Force data for the animal XXX. Data are organized in matrices N*6*M. N force monitoring points (frequency of acquisition 100 Hz), 6 load cells (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 in the order of columns) and M different days of distraction. The days of distraction which sere motorized are detailed in other file (time_dist_XXX.mat). To obtain the distraction force (DF) from sensor measurements it is necessary to apply the following expression: DF = C2 + C5 – C3 – C6 time_dist_XXX.mat It is a vector that contains the days in which the distraction phase was monitored for this animal This data set requires WinRAR software to decompress and MATLAB to process .mat data.
