Figure 3

Two typical load-deformation curves. The left one is selected from a mechanically stable and the right one from a mechanically unstable ankle. The stiffness was calculated from the slopes (slope = ∆ Force [N]/∆ Distance [mm]) in the intervals from 40 to 60 N and 125 to 175 N. The stiffness is not different in the 125–175 N intervals but the stable subject’s 40–60 N slopes are steeper.
