Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture is one of the most common orthopaedic conditions
in veterinary medicine. CrCL plays a fundamental role in the stability and biomechanics of …

Objective gait analysis techniques aid investigators in the study of motion. Kinematic gait
analysis techniques that objectively quantitate motion are valuable tools used to understand …

The first high-precision 3D in vivo hindlimb kinematic data to be recorded in normal dogs of
four different breeds (Beagle, French bulldog, Malinois, Whippet) using biplanar, high …

Despite orthopaedic problems being a major concern for the pig industry, there is a lack of
biomechanical, hence quantitative, investigation of locomotor pathology in pigs. The …

Background French bulldogs exhibit significantly larger femoral external rotation and
abduction than other breeds. We were curious as to whether this peculiar leg kinematic …

Objective—To compare overground and treadmill-based gaits of dogs. Animals—5 clinically
normal adult mixed-breed dogs. Procedures—To obtain dynamic gait data, 30 retroreflective …

Objectives: To determine whether the canine pelvic limb can be considered a linkage of rigid
bodies during kinematic analysis. Methods: The lengths of the femur and tibia based on skin …

The study aimed to compare the effect of restrictive and non‐restrictive harnesses on
shoulder extension of dogs at walk and trot. This was a prospective study of nine dogs. Dogs …

Objective: Evaluate the effect of marker placement on kinematics of the canine stifle in 3
distinct hindlimb models. Study Design: In vivo biomechanical study. Animals: Normal adult …

Objectives: To determine if the use of a six degrees of freedom marker set would allow new
kinematic data of the canine thoracic limbs to be calculated. To identify any significant …
