Table S1.
Index | Meaning | Units | Definition |
Swing duration | Swing duration | Milliseconds | Time duration of the swing phase (no paw contact with belt) |
% Swing | Percentage of stride in swing | Percentage | Percentage of the total stride duration that the paw is in the air |
Braking duration | Braking duration | Milliseconds | Time duration of the braking phase (initial paw contact to maximum paw contact; commencing after the swing phase) |
% Braking | Percentage of stride in braking | Percentage | Percentage of the total stride duration that the paw is in the braking phase |
Propulsion duration | Propulsion duration | Milliseconds | Time duration of the propulsion phase (maximum paw contact to just before the swing phase) |
% Propulsion | Percentage of stride in propulsion | Percentage | Percentage of the total stride duration that the paw is in the propulsion phase |
Stance duration | Stance duration | Milliseconds | Time duration of the stance duration (paw contact with belt); stance duration is equal to the sum of braking duration and propulsion duration |
Stance width | Width between both forelimbs or both hind limbs | Centimeters | The perpendicular distance between the centroids of either set of axial paws during peak stance |
Stance width CV | CV of stance width | Percentage | The SD of the stance width for the set of strides recorded (reflecting the dispersion about the average value) |
Paw area | Paw area | Square centimeters | The area seen by the camera and reported at the time corresponding to peak stance (e.g., maximal paw area) |
CV, coefficient of variation.
