Cyclogram analysis of canine gait: quantifying inter-joint coordination and clinical utility in rehabilitation [PDF]
IntroductionCyclograms, or joint angle–angle plots, provide an intuitive representation of inter-joint coordination, yet they remain underused in canine rehabilitation.

Determination of the Stifle Angle at Standing Position in Dogs
Background: The cranial cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases encountered in dogs. Surgical techniques have been developed to stabilize the stifle, with an overall accepted benefit of tibial osteotomies among which is ...

Effects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy on Pain and Mobility in Client-Owned Dogs with Refractory Elbow and Stifle Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Double-Blinded Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is used as an adjunctive treatment for canine osteoarthritis (OA), but its effects in dogs with treatment-refractory advanced disease remain unclear. This study compared the efficacy of one versus two
