lar region, maximum temperature in the ocular region, standard deviation of temperature in the digital flexor tendons of the hind limb, standard deviation of temperature in the tarsus region, maximum temperature in the thorax, and average temperature in the coronary region of the thoracic limb made highly significant contributions ( p < 0.0001) to the discriminant functions when qualitative gait evaluation levels were the clustering criteria.
