Development of a Novel Gait Analysis Tool Measuring Center of Pressure for Evaluation of Canine Chronic Thoracolumbar Spinal Cord Injury

Journal of Neurotrauma, 36(21), 3018–3025.

By: M. Lewis* , K. Williams*, T. Langley*, L. Jarvis *, G. Sawicki* & N. Olby n 

author keywords: center of pressure; chronic spinal cord injury; dogs; locomotion; postural control
MeSH headings : Animals; Dogs; Gait Analysis / instrumentation; Lumbar Vertebrae; Postural Balance / physiology; Spinal Cord Injuries / veterinary; Thoracic Vertebrae
TL;DR: COP analysis and body weight support measurements offer information about post-injury locomotion and further development is needed before consideration as an outcome measure to complement validated gait analysis methods in dogs with SCI. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Veterinary Journal, 226, 26–31.

By: S. Blau n, L. Davis n, A. Gorney n, C. Dohse n, K. Williams n, J. Lim n, W. Pfitzner n, E. Laber n, G. Sawicki n, N. Olby n 

author keywords: Locomotion; Kinematics; Center of gravity
MeSH headings : Animals; Biomechanical Phenomena; Cartilage / growth & development; Dog Diseases / physiopathology; Dogs / anatomy & histology; Dogs / physiology; Gait; Species Specificity; Spinal Cord Injuries / physiopathology; Spinal Cord Injuries / veterinary
TL;DR: In conclusion, COP variability can be measured consistently in dogs, and a range of COP variability for normal chondrodystrophoid dogs has been determined to provide a baseline for future studies on dogs with spinal cord injury. (via Semantic Scholar)
