1. Representative force traces of the forelimb and hindlimb during steady-state locomotion.
Representative force traces of the forelimb and hindlimb during steady-state locomotion. All force data were corrected to indicate the applied force by the animal and was standardized for the direction of travel and differing body mass. This resulted in comparable force curves that all displayed vertical and propulsive force as positive values and braking force as negative values. In order to make comparisons between subjects of differing body masses, all force traces originally measured in Newtons were converted into a proportion of the animal's body mass (%BM).
