Ultrasonograph and Clinical Quantitative Characterization of Tendinopathy by Modified Splitting in a Goat Model

Table 1

A global functional score was calculated based on lameness at walk and trot and normalized (score of lameness at walk + score of lameness at trot)/2.

Score of lameness—walk and trot [26]

0Normal (without lameness)
1Discrete lameness (lameness barely visible and intermittent)
2Obvious lameness (visible lameness)
3Severe lameness (evident lameness)
4Lameness with intermittent support removal
5Constant support removal
