Black boxes indicate which forelimb or hindlimb had higher values. Green indicates decrease and red indicates increase of the values during heelwork walk compared to normal walk. Orange indicates an increase of the values during heelwork walk compared to normal walk but below 3% (normal).

FL, left forelimb; FR, right forelimb; HL, left hindlimb; HR, right hindlimb; IFz, vertical impulse; SI%, symmetry index; SD, standard deviation.
