Figure 5

Patterns of footfalls. Illustration of patterns of footfalls from a 23-kg dog crossing a force/pressure measurement system at a trotting gait velocity (2.0 m/s). The corresponding typical curves of the vertical ground reaction forces are also illustrated. For this dog, a cycle of footfalls has a 0.5-second duration and 0.5-meter long. Both fore and hind limb footfalls usually overlap, which is not illustrated here for clarity purposes.
