LupoGait^®

All-in-one solution for prevention, early detection, diagnosis and rehabilitation

Our technology is perfect for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and detecting pathological conditions at an early stage. It proves particularly effective even when problems occur at an early stage of inflammation or are caused by muscle or fascial tension.

Mobile and effective diagnosis and therapy adjustment

LupoGait^® can provide valuable support in the diagnosis of complex clinical pictures. When making a diagnosis, conventional diagnostic tools are often unable to assess movement patterns independently of the cause of the problem. This is where our gait analysis system comes in and offers an optimal solution. It enables the precise detection of the smallest differences in gait pattern and tracks changes via follow-up measurements during monitoring. Even the smallest changes that remain hidden on X-rays are revealed. These precise measurements allow therapy measures to be adjusted as needed to ensure targeted treatment.

In addition, LupoGait^® enables accurate monitoring of the rehabilitation of canine patients after operations, accidents or illnesses, as well as specific rehabilitation programmes, especially for sport and working dogs.

Our LupoGait^® system consists of two main components:

Hardware

Elasticated textile jacket
Tracker and sensors
Tablet

Software

Manager – App for data acquisition
Data analysis and visualisation
Web-based cloud solution

An easy-to-use, accurate and replicable solution for capturing and analysing the dog’s movement using IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit):

The six sensors in the jacket collect gait data at predefined anatomical positions.

The data is stored on a cloud server and is accessible via web-based management software for analysis and export as a PDF.

Gait parameters such as stride length, ROM (Range of Motion), symmetries, stance and swing phases are recorded.

Suitable for all breeds of all ages, working dogs and athletes.

The advantages of the 4Dvets system

Early detection (prophylaxis)
Diagnosis of existing (complex) pathologies
Even before changes are visible on X-rays!
Monitoring of rehabilitation processes
Simple and reliable: no training, just a 20m walk
Cost saving: inexpensive hardware and fees
Time saving: can be operated by assistants

LupoGait^® – Designed for practitioners

The system enables vets and pet owners to proactively look after their pet’s health and give them the care they need to live the healthiest life possible.

“LupoGait^® is easy to use and can be integrated well into the workflow. The measurement results are available as a graph within minutes and can be discussed immediately with the animal owner.
The technology is a very valuable addition to conventional lameness examinations because it provides visualised data where the examiner’s eye cannot always arrive at a reliable assessment. The more data is available on the movement sequence, the more precisely a problem can be localised, even or especially when no structural damage can yet be shown in the imaging diagnostics.“

“Our aim was to identify the causes of lameness that cannot be identified with X-rays or MRI. We are really enthusiastic about LupoGait^®. The technology can be used as a diagnostic aid, as an alternative or in addition to conventional imaging techniques.
Thanks to LupoGait^®, we are able to correct very subtle gait abnormalities and customise our home treatment and exercise plans, as well as the use of electronic devices, to quickly alleviate the symptoms with which the dog presented.“
