From: Pressure mat analysis of naturally occurring lameness in young pigs after weaning

Figure 1

Typical pressure mat recordings from pig with right forelimb lameness (A) and sound pig (B). LF = left front, RF = right front, LH = left hind, RH = right hind. Pig A had a visual lameness score of 2/5. The recorded pressure is represented by color: red for the highest pressure, blue for the lowest pressure. Black dots represent the center of pressure throughout the stance phase. Pig A is showing a clear difference in the amount of pressure applied between the lame foot (RF) and the contralateral foot (LF), while also showing a pressure redistribution toward the left hind limb.
