Canine Gait Types

Abstract

Background/Aim: Understanding the locomotion or gait in dogs is important in the diagnosis and treatment of many orthopaedic and neurological problems. It is also valuable to know the gait types of the dog, for the design of orthoses or prostheses used in the treatment of various orthopaedic diseases. In this review, the normal walking types and the effect of the body shape on the canine locomotion are explained. Conclusion: This information can help clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of some orthopaedic diseases of extremities.

Köpeklerde Yürüyüş Tipleri

Abstract

Özbilgi/Amaç: Köpeklerde hareketin veya yürüyüşün bilinmesi, birçok ortopedik ve nörolojik problemin tanı ve tedavisinde önemlidir. Ayrıca çeşitli ortopedik hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılan ortez veya protezlerin tasarımında da köpeklerde yürüyüş tiplerinin bilinmesi değerli bilgiler sağlar. Bu derlemede, köpeklerde vücut şeklinin harekete etkisi ve normal yürüyüş tipleri anlatıldı. Sonuç: Bu bilgiler, ekstremitelerin bazı ortopedik hastalıklarının tanı ve tedavisinde klinisyenlere yardımcı olabilir.
