Introduction The use of orthoses and prostheses is expanding in veterinary medicine.
However, research evaluating the efficacy and complications of these devices in veterinary …

This study aimed to evaluate changes in the vertical and fore-aft force generation of the
hindlimbs in dogs with stifle orthoses. Custom-made orthoses were used on the right stifle …

As data-driven modeling becomes more prevalent for representing the uncertain dynamical
systems, concerns also arise regarding the reliability of these methods. Recent …

Introduction The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is one of numerous structures which
determine the path of the tibia relative to the femur when passively flexing/extending the …

Fitness and conditioning for the dog and owner have become key for many clients. It
involves a state of health and well‐being. Physiologic and functional capacity are involved …

Background Soft tissue artifacts (STAs) are a source of error in marker-based gait analysis in
dogs. While some studies have revealed the existence of STAs in the canine hindlimb, STAs …

OBJECTIVE To develop a 3-D kinematic model to measure truncal motion in dogs and
assess changes in truncal motion in dogs when wearing each of 2 service vests. ANIMALS 5 …

Background Skin marker-based three-dimensional kinematic gait analysis were commonly
used to assess the functional performance and movement biomechanics of the pelvic limb in …

Skin marker‐based motion analysis has been widely used to evaluate the functional
performance of canine gait and posture. However, the interference of soft tissues between …
