When load deflection data was plotted, two sigmoid curves were obtained, representing flextion and extension movement. Range of movement was measured as the maximum loading in each direction. Difference in intersection with the zero bar of load indicates the neutral zone. Neutral zone stiffness is the slope at zero load.
