Femoral Neck Strain during Maximal Contraction of Isolated Hip-Spanning Muscle Groups

Figure 5

The monitored eight locations (a) of the femoral neck cortex: proximal-lateral (PL), proximal-medial (PM), posterior-lateral (RL), posterior-medial (PM), distal-lateral (DL), distal-medial (DM), anterior-lateral (AL), and anterior-medial (AM). The boxplot (b) represents the average tensile (red) and compressive (blue) strain at the monitored locations during contractions of the hip-spanning muscles (1–6). The error bar represents ± standard deviation.
