Fig 3. Paw Contact Times.

Fig 3

(A,B) Fore paw and hindpaw measures of the time from initial ground contact to the paw becoming airborne for a single step. (C,D) The time it takes from initial contact with the walkway to the highest paw surface area with the ground represented as the percentage of the Stance Time that Maximum Contact was reached. (E,F) The speed of the paw leaving the walkway (AU, arbitrary units derived as “a” from y = ax+b, a best fit line; see methods). (G,H) Area of the paw at the time of maximum contact. (FP = fore paw, HP = hindpaw, n = 12; **p≤0.01, ****p≤0.0001).
