Fig. 3. (A) Representative strain record showing principal tensile (black) and
compressive (grey) strains from the caudal surface of the radius during one
trial lasting about 30 s. Strains are shown during the contact phase of
identified loading cycles (swing phase and non-analyzed footfalls have been
discarded). (B) Expanded view of five footfalls, showing a range of natural
locomotor behaviors. (C) Two-dimensional scatterplot depicting the loading
pattern for this surface (caudal radius, black diamonds), as well as the
opposite surface (cranial radius, white diamonds; strain trace not shown),
during this representative trial. (D) Principal tensile (black) and
compressive (grey) strains for cranial, caudal and medial surfaces (medial
surfaces show axial strains) for the metacarpus and radius during
representative treadmill footfalls. Each panel shows three consecutive walks,
trots and gallops from one goat during different trials. Note the difference
in y axis scale for each surface.
