ABSTRACT
Kinetic gait data is used to evaluate a dog's orthopedic soundness and to assess treatment response in clinical trials. It captures ground reaction forces (GRFs) generated by the interactions between an animal's limb and the ground and can be collected using force plates and pressure sensitive walkways. Historically, gait data were most commonly analyzed from a single, most clinically affected, limb evaluated while the dog walks or trots. More recently, symmetry indices, calculated using multiple methods, have been used to evaluate forces between paired limbs, as a method of evaluating multi-joint disease. However, when dogs are non-weight bearing lame (NWB) or have extreme mobility impairment, walking or trotting data can be difficult or impossible to collect. For these instances, standing gait analysis has been suggested as an option to collect non-zero data points. This review focuses on the reported methods of data collection for standing gait data, as well as methods of symmetry index calculation, and their use reported in the veterinary literature.
