Gait Analysis in Dogs: Precise Assessment of Movement in Veterinary Physical Therapy

Gait analysis allows for an objective assessment of movement patterns and weight distribution in dogs. Tendiboots have established themselves as a proven tool in this regard: the special straps indicate the weight bearing on individual paws during movement through their deformation. This enables you, as an animal physical therapist, to identify compensatory patterns and asymmetrical weight distribution that are often difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Gait analysis is particularly valuable for dogs following orthopedic surgery, in cases of chronic lameness, or for monitoring progress during rehabilitation. Tendiboots are suitable both for initial for and for documenting the success of treatment over several weeks.
