title: Model to characterize strain generated potentials in bone.
abstract: A model has been developed to characterize the strain generated potentials (SGPs) in bone. The model relates the SGP signal to the rotation (reorientation) of the spontaneous dipoles of bone in response to mechanical deformation. The effects of bone structural conditions and the measuring circuitry on the recorded potential are both accounted for by the model.
