a Duty factor for each limb preoperatively and at 20 weeks postoperatively. IL = ipsilateral forelimb (same side forelimb); CL = contralateral forelimb (diagonal forelimb). b Ratio of peak vertical force for operated limb compared to all other limbs preoperatively and at 20 weeks postoperatively. O:C = operated vs. control; O:CL = operated vs. contralateral forelimb; O:IL = operated vs. ipsilateral forelimb. c Ratio of impulse for operated limb compared to all other limbs preoperatively and at 20 weeks postoperatively. d Ratio of maximum peak pressure for operated limb compared to all other limbs preoperatively and at 20 weeks postoperatively. e Change in distribution of bodyweight to each limb at 20 weeks postoperatively compared to preoperatively, and between forelimbs (FL) and hind limbs (HL). *Different from preoperative; bars having different letters are significantly different
