OBJECTIVE To evaluate examiner variability in a superficial skin marker model of canine stifle kinematics. STUDY DESIGN Experimental. ANIMALS Six clinically normal dogs. METHODS Dogs had 11 retroreflective markers fixed to the skin on the right hindlimb. Dogs were trotted 5 times through the calibrated testing space and this was repeated on 4 different testing days. Examiner A applied all markers to a dog and collected 6 good trials for analysis. The markers were then removed and Examiner…

Description of soft tissue artifacts and related consequences on hindlimb kinematics during canine gait
TLDR
Considerable magnitudes and effects of STAs on the marker-based 3D gait analysis of dogs were demonstrated, and the results indicate that the development of error-compensation techniques based on knowledge regarding STAs is warranted for more accurate gaitAnalysis.
Effects of soft tissue artefacts on computed segmental and stifle kinematics in canine motion analysis
TLDR
The marker composition with the smallest error in describing joint kinematics is recommended for future applications and study in dogs during dynamic gait assessment.
Effect of Limb Position at the Time of Skin Marker Application on Sagittal Plane Kinematics of the Dog
TLDR
Limb position at the time of skin marker application affects gait data and is an important consideration for kinematic analysis of the hindlimb in dogs and significant differences were found between stifle waveforms.
Pelvic limb kinematics in the dog with and without a stifle orthosis
TLDR
The restrictive motion of the stifle orthosis is not fully translated to the underlying joint, based on the limited differences between the motion of braced and unbraced stifles.
OBJECTIVE GAIT ANALYSIS IN HUMBOLDT PENGUINS (SPHENISCUS HUMBOLDTI) USING A PRESSURE-SENSITIVE WALKWAY
TLDR
Assessment of pododermatitis, osteoarthritis, and other causes of lameness in penguins can be challenging and a pressure-sensitive walkway (PSW) allows for objective gait analysis and assessment of analgesic therapeutic response.
Objective gait analysis in humboldt penguins (spheniscus humboldti) and domestic ducks (cairina moschata domestica) using a pressure sensitive walkway
TLDR
Assessment of pododermatitis, osteoarthritis, and other causes of lameness in penguins can be challenging and a pressure sensitive walkway (PSW) allows for objective gait analysis and assessment of analgesic therapeutic response.
A Comparison of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Techniques for Kinematic Analysis of the Sagittal Motion of Sheep Hindlimbs During Walking on a Treadmill
TLDR
This study is the first to perform and compare two-dimensional and 3D hindlimb kinematics of the sagittal motion during treadmill walking in the ovine model and provides evidence of the inadequacy of a 2D approach to the computation of joint kinematic in clinically normal sheep during treadmill Walking when the interest is centered on the hoof's joints.
Biomechanical Functions of the Canine Metacarpal and Metatarsal Pads during Locomotion: A Comparative Analysis
TLDR
The morphology and volumes of internal adipose tissues were closely related to the functions played by the metapodial pad during movement and showed the biomechanical characteristics of cushion and support; however, the support characteristics of the metatarsal pad were weak.
Review of kinematic analysis in dogs.
TLDR
The objective of this report is to review principles of kinematic data collection and analyses, with a focus on differences between 2D and 3D systems.

The effect of marker location variability on noninvasive canine stifle kinematics.
TLDR
Deviation of the greater trochanter (GT) marker in the cranial/caudal direction from an anatomically normal position produces a greater degree of difference than deviation in a dorsal/ventral direction.
Comparison of canine stifle kinematic data collected with three different targeting models.
TLDR
The JCS model provided sagittal plane flexion/extension data as well as internal/external rotation and abduction/adduction data and JCS provided additional valuable data.
Evaluation of a three-dimensional kinematic model for canine gait analysis.
TLDR
A segmental rigid-body model of the canine hind limb developed by use of a joint coordinate system in dogs was produced and 3-D kinematic measurements of the hip, stifle, and tarsal joints were collected.
Noninvasive kinematic analysis of the walk in healthy large-breed dogs.
TLDR
Computer-assisted kinematic gait analysis proved to be a reliable and consistent technique for assessment of movement at the walk in dogs, and Fourier transformation was shown to be an effective tool for analysis of the kinematics data.
Comparison of two methods for analyzing kinetic gait data in dogs.
TLDR
Findings indicated that when comparing kinetic data overtime, additional insight may be gleaned from GIFA of the complete waveform, particularly when subtle waveform differences are present.
Validation of two-dimensional kinematic analysis of walk and sit-to-stand motions in dogs.
TLDR
Intraobserver repeatability of 2-D kinematic measurements made on digitized videotapes was excellent and interobserverrepeatability of these measurements was acceptable.
Interday variation in vertical ground reaction force in clinically normal Greyhounds at the trot.
TLDR
Effect of day within dog variation (interaction) should be considered as a component in statistical models in which data from 1 day are evaluated against data from the same subject on another day.
Skin movement during the kinematic analysis of the canine pelvic limb.
TLDR
The femoral and tibial lengths were not constant throughout a gait cycle and the lengths changed in repeatable patterns in each dog and there was skin movement which causes considerable artifact during kinematic analysis of the canine pelvic limb.
Kinematic gait analysis of the trot in healthy greyhounds.
TLDR
Kinematic gait analysis provided a reliable description of flexion and extension movements in Greyhounds with minimal variance attributable to trial repetitions and to differences between dogs.

TLDR
Intratrial evaluation of right-left hind limb symmetry, using kinematic gait analysis, indicated objectively that hind limb movement is symmetrical at the trot in healthy large-breed dogs.
