Curvilinear velocity (VCL, µm/s), straight-line velocity (VSL, µm/s), average path velocity (VAP, µm/s), percentage of linearity (LIN, %), percentage of straightness (STR, %), wobble coefficient (WOB, %), mean amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH, mm), and mean beat cross frequency (BCF, Hz). Data are depicted as means ± SEM. Different lowercase letters indicate differences among groups (p < 0.05).
