From: Effect of heel elevation on breakover phase in horses with laminitis
The averaged pressure distribution with the centre of the force ( 
) of a horse (number 6) with (a) and without the HCHW (b) during the stance phase. Lateral is to the left and dorsal is in the top. The pressure distribution is colour coded: red = highest pressure forces and deep blue = lowest pressure forces, as seen on the pressure scale. With HCHW, the centre of the force was located palmary in the heel region. The hoof contact area decreased after removal of the HCHW in the heel region and the centre of the force shifted dorsally to the middle hoof region compared with HCHW. BFC = barefoot condition; HCHW = hoof cast with heel elevation
