This article reviews computerized force plate analysis and kinematic gait analysis
techniques currently used in dogs. The necessary equipment is described and the basic …

Objective—To compare ground reaction forces (GRFs) measured by use of a pressure-
sensitive walk-way (PSW) and a force plate (FP) and evaluate weekly variation in the GRFs …

Walking involves a cyclic exchange of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy of
the center of mass. Our goal was to understand how the limbs of walking quadrupeds …

Objective—To compare the trotting gaits of Labrador Retrievers and Greyhounds to
determine whether differences in locomotion are attributable to differences in their manner of …

Objective—To evaluate the effects of a weight reduction program combined with a basic or
more complex physical therapy program including transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation …

In vivo bone strain experiments were performed on the ulnae of three female rhesus
macaques to test how the bone deforms during locomotion. The null hypothesis was that, in …

This relation states that the tendency to rotate can be influenced not only by the magnitude
of the force but by the length of the moment arm. For example, in quadruped animals, the …

This study aimed to explore the effect of external mechanical perturbations on postural
stability (PS) in dogs using the body center of pressure (COP). Thirteen sound adult dogs …

Objective: To evaluate the relationship of body weight (BW) and size, dog velocity, and
vertical ground reaction forces (GRF) from a large number of dogs of various sizes. Study …

Objective—To establish a protocol to collect temporal-spatial gait analysis variables by use
of a portable walkway system in Labrador Retrievers at a walk and to determine reference …
