Equine lameness

Description

A score measuring the symmetry of the gait for eight trotting horses. Each horse was tested twice, namely while it was clinically healthy and after mechanical induction of lameness in a fore limb.

Format

A data frame with 8 observations on the following 3 variables.

1. horse: a numeric vector with an id of the horse
2. lame: the symmetry score when the horse is lame
3. healthy: the symmetry score when the horse is healthy
