Canine Gait

An excellent study of canine motion - you need Flash player which is a free download.
 
What you will see is a: 


  1. healthy dog
  2. a dog with CHD (Hip Dysplasia) 
  3. Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture. 

Each of the above dogs are shown 

  • walking
  • gaiting
  • stairs

There are 2 main views of 3 dogs:

  1. actual video
  2. dog in abstract with the use of reflective markers in key locations

All can be seen from 4 different views:

  1. Side
  2. posterior
  3. frontal
  4. overhead
