(a) Schematic illustration showing the position, and relative size, of the pressure plates during experimental data collection. The dimensions of each plate were 0.605 m (width) and 2.122 m (length) with a 48 (width) by 160 (length) array of sensors to total 7680 sensors for each plate. Location of the 7 regions of interest (ROI) in (b) camel and (c) alpaca foot. Position of the fat pad in the camel foot is indicated by the vertically shaded structure. Photographic illustration of the alpaca and camel feet. (d) Sagittal view of the camel fore right foot. (e) Palmar view of the camel fore right foot. (f) Frontal view of the alpaca fore left foot. (g) Palmar view of the alpaca fore left foot.
