This study presents a new gait analysis protocol for German Shepherd dogs, focusing on back movement. The developed method provides objective data for evaluating canine treatment and back health.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary biomechanics
  • Canine locomotion analysis
  • Orthopedic assessment

Background:

  • Gait analysis is crucial for evaluating canine orthopedic health.
  • Specific protocols for assessing back movement in German Shepherds are limited.
  • Objective data is needed for effective canine treatment evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and validate a motion analysis protocol for adult German Shepherd dogs.
  • To focus on the analysis of back movements during gait.
  • To establish normative data for canine gait parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a six-camera stereo-photogrammetric system and two force platforms.
  • Recorded static and gait trials of eight healthy German Shepherd dogs.

  • Analyzed spatial-temporal parameters, joint kinematics, and ground reaction forces.

    • Main Results:

    • Reported normative data for ground reaction forces, spatial-temporal parameters, and joint kinematics (hip, stifle, tarsal).
    • Provided average range of motion (ROM) values and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI).
    • Developed a novel multi-segment back model for enhanced back movement analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a preliminary basis for analyzing gait and back movement in healthy German Shepherds.
    • The developed protocol offers a useful and objective tool for evaluating canine treatment.
    • This research specifically enhances the assessment of back movement in canine gait analysis.
