Description of DigiGait system parameters relevant to nerve regeneration

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.
