LupoGait: Scientifically sound prevention for healthy dogs
Current studies show: Biomechanics determine joint health
The latest veterinary studies confirm that hip dysplasia in dogs is much more than just a genetic disease. Rather, biomechanical factors and gait changes play a decisive role in the development and progression of the disease.
What the research shows:
- Kinematic gait analysis in German Shepherds with hip dysplasia
Source: The Veterinary Journal
In this study, gait patterns of healthy and dysplastic German Shepherds were compared. It was found that dysplastic dogs exhibit significant biomechanical deviations that damage the hip joint in the long term. Early detection of these gait abnormalities would therefore be of great benefit. - Kinetic and kinematic analysis in dogs with osteoarthritic HD

Researchers have shown that even minor biomechanical changes in movement can lead to accelerated joint wear and osteoarthritis. Precise, early diagnosis could significantly reduce these problems. - Influence of borderline cases (“borderline HD”) on joint kinematics

Even dogs with clinically inconspicuous, only radiologically visible borderline cases showed clear biomechanical changes. Timely intervention could prevent a mild abnormality from becoming a serious dysplasia.
Why LupoGait is indispensable
The studies provide impressive evidence:
Early detection of the most subtle biomechanical abnormalities is crucial for the subsequent health of the joints.
This is exactly where LupoGait Puppy comes in. With high-precision IMU sensors and specially developed algorithms, we can reliably detect even the smallest gait deviations from the age of 10 weeks. This allows vets and therapists to intervene at an early stage – precisely when it is still possible to prevent serious joint damage.
Your advantages with LupoGait:
- Healthier dogs, better quality of life: early intervention enables joint-friendly development and more enjoyment of movement in everyday life
- Advanced diagnostics – even without specialization: LupoGait makes subtle biomechanical abnormalities visible – even for practices without an orthopaedic focus
- New revenue potential: screening programs and targeted therapy offers create sustainable sources of revenue
- Innovative edge for your practice: Position yourself as a pioneer in preventive veterinary medicine – with a scientifically sound, forward-looking tool
