Abstract: The article presents the study "Sensitivity and specificity to determine lameness in dogs with a pressure walkway system." The study aims to evaluate performance for the detection of a lame limb and to offer clinicians with a quantitative instrument to gait analysis designed for routine application. It concludes that a pressure walkaway system offers quick outcome through a non-invasive procedure without anesthesia.
