Canine Gait analysis: Functional orthopaedics and kinematics with LupoGait®
Introduction to canine gait analysis
Canine Gait analysis is now a central component of modern veterinary medicine. Thanks to systems such as LupoGait®, vets can recognise gait changes in dogs at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner. Functional orthopaedics and kinematics enable a detailed analysis of the musculoskeletal system and provide valuable data that helps to improve the quality of life of our dogs.
What is kinematics and why is it so important?
Kinematics describes the interplay of muscles, joints and nerves that control a dog’s movement. Analysing these factors reveals the smallest irregularities and helps to identify potential problems such as arthritis, hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia at an early stage.

The advantages of gait analysis with LupoGait®
Canine Gait analysis is a decisive advance in modern veterinary medicine. With the help of the LupoGait® system, vets and physiotherapists can recognise movement disorders and dysfunctions at an early stage and provide targeted treatment. Functional kinematics and orthopaedics make it possible to precisely analyse the musculoskeletal system and provide important data that helps to improve quality of life.
Advantages of gait analysis with LupoGait®
- Early detection of diseases: Functional disorders are detected at an early stage before they have a negative impact on the dog’s health.
- Objective diagnoses: Canine gait analysis provides precise and reproducible measured values that help vets and physiotherapists with diagnosis and treatment.
- Stress-free measurement: The measurement process is stress-free and comfortable thanks to the use in the dog’s familiar environment.
How the LupoGait® gait analysis system works
With six integrated inertial sensors (IMUs) and cloud-based software, LupoGait® analyses the dog’s movement patterns in less than 10 minutes. The objective data from the gait analysis enables the team at 4Dvets to make accurate diagnoses and monitor the progress of therapy throughout the rehabilitation process.
Kinematics and precision orthopaedics: a look into the future
The innovative canine gait analysis revolutionises orthopaedics for dogs and supports not only the diagnosis, but also the prevention and treatment of movement problems. With LupoGait®, vets and physiotherapists can optimise the health of the musculoskeletal system and sustainably improve the quality of life of dogs.
