Table 3. Accuracy and precision of gait event detection: threshold-based method.
Accuracy (mean of differences) and precision across horses (SD of differences) were calculated as the average across the eight horse-specific mean values. Precision within horses was calculated as the average across the eight horse-specific SD values. For details on kinematic event detection and abbreviations, please refer to Table 2. a, b, c—Conditions with the same superscript letter are significantly different from each other.
