Rapid Prototyping for In Vitro Knee Rig Investigations of Prosthetized Knee Biomechanics: Comparison with Cobalt-Chromium Alloy Implant Material

Table 4

Calculated slope by Deming-regression for the tests with SPM and RPM in the knee rig. Additionally the results of the -test against the slope of 1, which represents an identical behavior between both materials.
