How does it work?
The Stance Analyzer objectively measures the percentage of weight your pet places on each limb. By placing a foot in each of the four quadrants, the Stance Analyzer will show whether a pet favours a limb.
How will my pet benefit?
Identifying changes in gait are often very difficult to see and identify since dogs tend to “camouflage” a weakness. By using the Stance Analyzer, your dog will shift their weight to reflect their discomfort in a standing position. Our veterinarians can identify a possible issue (early detection) and create and monitor unique treatment plans specifically for your pet.
When should I have an analysis done?
We recommend that every annual exam include a Stance Analysis. This will enable your veterinarian to develop a baseline and monitor any changes. Any dog that has been limping or shown any mobility issue, even temporary, should present for a Stance Analysis. Also, any performance or highly active dog may want to have an analysis done every couple of months to identify potential problems early on.
