Fadhel:
I do research on the stiffness of the knee joint associated with ACL
injury and osteoarthritis. During the time we do a single anterior
drawer (1 sec) creep occurs. Usually we do several pre-test repetitions
(about 7 or so) to get reproducible anterior drawer measurements. There
are different mechanisms for the various forms of creep occurring in
whole joints like the knee. I would be interested in hearing about your
application.
