Kinematic Analysis Comparison between Normal and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture Canine Gait Analysis: An Exploratory Study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This study aims to apply a kinematic analysis to characterize and compare a normal canine gait with a canine gait with cranial cruciate ligament (CrRL) rupture with free and open-source software. Two dogs walked ten times. A bidimensional kinematic analysis was performed. Spatiotemporal analysis showed significant differences between dogs. The dog with CrCL rupture obtained higher results for all parameters except stance and step time. Also, the stifle angle did not verify differences in absolute angle, but the signal showed differences in patterns between normal and abnormal gait. This study supports that software assisting clinicians’ diagnosis with CrCl ruptures.
