What is a Stance Analyzer?
A stance analyzer is a special scale, that helps your veterinary team evaluate lameness / pain issues that your dog is experiencing.
We have all seen the situation where a pet is acting lame at home, but by the time they get to the veterinary office, the excitement of the ride and visit has them walking much better.
The Companion Animal Stance Analyzer helps in evaluating lameness problems in dogs by giving us an objective measurement of how a pet is shifting his or her weight onto different limbs to avoid pain, even very subtly.
The Stance Analyzer is divided into 4 quadrants. With each visit, the computer software averages the percent of weight bearing on each limb (as well as the total weight), and the data obtained can be saved to the pets file. Over time, we can monitor and see how their stance changes and improves with on-going treatments. After the session, Dr. Wolfe will review the progress results with you.
