CANIDGAIT® STANCE AND GAIT ANALYSIS FOR DOGS

MEASURING SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSTICS, THERAPY AND REHABILITATION

The system consists of a treadmill or platform equipped with a calibrated pressure sensor matrix and one or several synchronised cameras.

Gait disorders in dogs, such as those which may arise due to changes or injuries to the musculoskeletal system, are accurately analysed and permit targeted treatment in daily clinical Praxis.

The system reveals functional deficits that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, thus permitting an early diagnosis of incipient lameness.

The analysis report presents the contact forces and pressure distribution pattern of each paw overlayed with the rolling line showing the trajectory of its centre of pressure during stance and movement.

The gait parameters (step lengths, length of the gait cycle, speed, cadence, stance and swing phase distribution) are presented in an easily-readable table with numerical values and bar graphs.

The course of the body’s centres of gravity yields valuable information regarding symmetry and stability of stance and gait.

The report provides an easy way to see the gait type by showing the contact force curves for each leg, and the cross-leg diagram with the footfall patterns.

The report can compare analysis results of two records for easy monitoring of the therapy efficiency.

A complete diagnosis of dogs’ gaits can be carried out without any further preparation.

The simple-to-operate PC analysis software provides scientifically sound and valid stance and gait parametersafter automatic or manual assigning of the limbs.

The roll-off details of the animal are presented in slow motion, whereby the joint angle of limbs can be measured directly on a display screen.

The treadmill and platforms are equipped with high-precision, robust and individually calibrated, capacitive pressure sensors.

“My dogs queue up and can’t wait for their turn on the treadmill - they absolutely love it” Mrs Geall - Whippet breeder

“The day the treadmill arrived we set it up and started my dog, Anya, on it. It was very easy to use and once she was used to the movement Anya was away! She now loves to use it, and can’t wait once she knows she is going on it.” Pat Oborn - German Shepherd Breeder

“We have been using the treadmill on our own dogs, which are Collies, Collie x Spaniel and Great Danes. Our inquisitive Collie now jumps on it every time we go to the pool and waits for us to turn it on. It is a very good accompaniment for the Hydrotherapy pool.” Jayne Reed -The Dog Pool

“The Fit Fur Life treadmills have enabled me to refine the rehabilitation, under controlled conditions, of both medical and surgical conditions. This has improved the rate of recovery and the end result.”
