Filho et al: Gait Analysis of Amputee Dogs Using a Pressure-Sensitive Walkway
Veterinary and Comparative Orthopedics and Traumatology 4, 2024

🔍 Key Findings Summary

  • 39 dogs (mostly post-trauma) with either forelimb or hindlimb amputations (high vs low)
  • No significant difference in %BW distribution between high vs low forelimb amputations
  • In hindlimb amputees:
    • High amputations → more overload on contralateral hindlimb (p = 0.01)
    • Low amputations → more even load split, slight preference for contralateral hindlimb and ipsilateral forelimb
  • Values derived from pressure-sensitive walkway confirmed with statistical significance
  • Useful implications for prosthesis selection and rehabilitation planning
