Introduction: Many gait analysis systems have been developed for humans and dogs. However, in veterinary medicine, we need to have a system that is able to quickly analyze the spatial and temporal parameters and relative pressure of the four paws through multiple strides. We have modified a human device: the GAITRite® system for a canine application. Our intention was to verify the validity and reliability of its use for dogs.
Conclusion: The correlation of spatial and temporal parameters between the GAITRite® system and manual measurements were excellent. Based on these data, GAITRite® is a valid and workable tool to measure the temporospatial gait parameters of different sized dogs.
