Gait analysis case studies from practice
How LupoGait reveals the cause of unclear lameness, guides treatment and documents success.
Gait analysis case studies with LupoGait
Real-world examples of precise diagnostics and treatment planning
Our LupoGait case studies give you detailed insights into how our technology is used for various orthopaedic challenges. Using real examples, we show how precise gait analysis contributes to the early detection of movement disorders and supports individual treatment approaches. Discover how LupoGait is used in practice to improve the mobility and quality of life of dogs in the long term.

LupoGait case study
Functional asymmetry in a German Wirehaired Pointer
Diagnosing musculoskeletal problems in working dogs is both difficult and important. This 2.5-year-old pointer presented with recurrent lameness in the left forelimb that spread to the right side.
Wichtige Befunde
Gait asymmetry: the left forelimb showed a toe-touching gait and elbow imbalance; the right forelimb compensated with a greater range of movement
Posture analysis: weight shifted to the right, left shoulder rotated inwards, shoulder blade extended outwards
Muscle imbalance: less muscle mass at the left scapula contrasted with stronger muscles on the right side
Functional asymmetries, often subtle, can significantly affect mobility and health. Tools such as gait analysis enable precise diagnostics that support targeted interventions and optimal performance without long-term damage.
LupoGait case study
Persistent lameness in a working dog
A 3.5-year-old Cane Corso was presented with recurrent lameness and restricted movement, despite previous treatments including cruciate ligament surgery and medication.
Wichtige Befunde
Gait
Marked irregularities of the forelimb and compensatory overloading of the right forelimb
Narrow stance of the hind limbs with a pelvic twist that would not have been identified so clearly without this detailed analysis
Abnormal shoulder positions with restricted mobility
Therapeutic approach (correcting biomechanical dysfunctions)
Repositioning of the limb and spinal manipulation
Restoring symmetry and improving dynamics
Outcome
Visible improvement in movement quality
Reduced lameness and a more stable gait

LupoGait in practice: precise diagnostics, visible results
What do these case studies show?
These LupoGait case studies illustrate how precise gait analysis contributes to the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of movement disorders. LupoGait can detect even subtle gait abnormalities that are often not visible to the naked eye.
In both cases, the objective data from LupoGait helped the right treatment decisions to be made, leading to a visible improvement in the dogs’ mobility and quality of life.
How can LupoGait support you?
LupoGait not only provides valuable diagnostic data, but also helps you monitor treatment success and adjust treatment plans in a targeted way. Its easy integration into everyday practice makes LupoGait the ideal tool for vets, physiotherapists and research institutions.
