Gordon L Warren

Only Newton per meter or kilonewton per meter are units of stiffness. 1000 N/m = 1 kN/m. Pascals and kilopascals are units of pressure.

The discrepancy is most likely because a lot of people say they are studying muscle/tendon stiffness but are not actually doing so.

Nawras H. Mostafa

I never heard or read the stiffness unit in pascal (N/m2). It is only N/m.
