Objective—To compare ground reaction forces (GRFs) measured by use of a pressure-
sensitive walk-way (PSW) and a force plate (FP) and evaluate weekly variation in the GRFs�…

The reliability of repeated measurements of vertical ground reaction force (GRF) variables
was determined using 10 clinically sound adult dogs walking on a treadmill three times daily�…

Peak vertical impulse (PVF) and vetical impulse (VI) data were collected from the left
forelimbs and ipsilateral hind limbs of eight healthy adult Greyhound dogs ranging in mass�…

Objective—To compare temporospatial variables (TSVs) and kinetic variables (KVs) for fore-
limbs and hind limbs of small and large dogs of various breeds during walking and to�…

Objective—To document peak vertical force (PVF) and vertical impulse (VI) in the pads of
Greyhounds and Labrador Retrievers. Animals—8 Greyhounds and 8 Labrador Retrievers�…

Force plate gait analysis was used to study the effects of subject stance time and velocity on
ground reaction forces in 5 adult Greyhounds at the walk. Data from 146 valid trials were�…

Ground reaction forces, impulses, and their relationships to morphometric measurements
were evaluated for walking gait in 17 healthy dogs. A force plate was used to record forces�…

Force plate gait analysis was used to study the effects of subject velocity on ground reaction
forces. Seven adult Greyhounds were trotted at 3 distinct velocities: 1.5 to 1.8 m/s, 2.1 to 2.4�…

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of force plate gait analysis at the walk and trot in dogs
with low-grade hindlimb lameness. Material and methods: Nineteen healthy dogs and 41�…

The kinetic parameters of the limbs of 23 normal, client‐owned cats were evaluated by
encouraging them to walk and jump normally on a pressure‐sensitive walkway. Each cat�…
