The conicity index (C index) was calculated using Valdez' formula, (19) and by calculating the median, it was considered 1.28 as the best cutoff value for men and 1.32 for women, because virtually all patients would be above the cutoff value suggested in literature, which would make the statistical analysis difficult.
Moreover, since during the tests on roller-rig the wheelset is centred, the lateral creepage vanishes ([[eta].sub.RL] = 0), while a constant value of the spin creepage must be considered, due to the wheel conicity.
