(A) Image of rat crossing the force plate illustrating isolated rear foot contact. (B) Anteroposterior (braking: −, propulsive: +), mediolateral (lateral: +, medial: −) and vertical gait force time histories as a percent of body weight (% BW) of a single trial. Contact time is the time the rear leg is in contact with the force plate as measured by the vertical force.
