Moduli of all tissue samples for the linear region of the stress-strain response, for instantaneous and relaxed states.

Moduli were approximated by calculating the slope of stress-strain data reported for the last two target strain levels prescribed during the experiments, see Fig 8. For confined compression samples, aggregate moduli are reported. The posterior cruciate ligament failed during the second ramp loading (10% strain); this describes the low values for the moduli of this tissue. At the relaxed state, the stress response of the menisci during compression was low; the values reported may potentially be hindered by experimentation capacity (shown in parenthesis). ACL: anterior cruciate ligament; PCL; posterior cruciate ligament; MCL: medical collateral ligament; LCL: lateral collateral ligament.
