Gait Analysis · See how they move. Measure how they load.
CanidGait® Pressure Plate
Go beyond visual gait assessment with objective data on paw pressure, weight distribution, and movement symmetry. The CanidGait® Pressure Plate captures how dogs walk and stand, helping veterinary teams identify loading imbalances, evaluate mobility, and track functional changes over time.
- Overground Gait & Stance Analysis
- 15,360 Calibrated Pressure Sensors
- Expandable Measurement Surface
Clinical Use
Applications
Static Stance & Weight Distribution
Measure how body weight and pressure are distributed across the four limbs during standing to identify shifts and asymmetries.
Overground Gait Analysis
Capture paw contacts, pressure patterns, gait timing, and limb-loading differences as the dog walks across the measuring surface.
Lameness & Compensatory Loading
Add objective measurements to clinical observation when evaluating altered loading patterns or asymmetry between limbs.
Post-Operative Monitoring
Document changes in stance, limb loading, and gait as patients progress through recovery following orthopedic procedures.
Rehabilitation Progress
Compare measurements between visits to determine whether functional movement and weight distribution are changing with rehabilitation.
Clinical Research & Documentation
Create quantifiable gait and stance records for veterinary research, teaching, case documentation, and longitudinal analysis.
