Introduction and objectives Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS) is a common disorder affecting large breed dogs and in particular German Shepherd (GS) dogs. Currently, the most common treatment is surgery, however surgical timing and techniques are still controversial [1]. In this regard, instrumented movement analysis is a powerful tool for improving the clinical intervention efficacy [2]. The majority of the gait analysis protocols proposed were devised to analyze hind limbs kinematics [3]. To authors' knowledge, only few studies focused on the movements of the back [4] and, a complete description throughout the entire gait cycle of the kinematic data variability is still lacking. Aim of the present study is twofold: (i) to present and validate a gait analysis protocol specifically designed for the evaluation of the back motion in both sagittal and horizontal planes; and (ii) to provide normative data of the spatio-temporal parameters, kinematics and kinetics quantities during quadrupedal stance posture and level gait in healthy GS dogs.

A Canine Gait Analysis Protocol for Back Movement Assessment in German Shepherd Dogs
Sürer, Elif; Evangelisti, Maria Antonietta; Paolini, Gabriele; Della Croce, Ugo; Manunta, Maria Lucia (2020-03-01)
Objective-To design and test a motion analysis protocol for the gait analysis of adult German Shepherd (GS) dogs with a focus in the analyses of their back movements. Animals-Eight clinically healthy adult large-sized GS dogs (age, 4 +/- 1.3 years; weight, 38.8 +/- 4.2 kg). Procedures-A six-camera stereo-photogrammetric system and two force platforms were used for data acquisition. Experimental acquisition sessions consisted of static and gait trials. During gait trials, each dog walked along a 6 m long wal...
A biomechanical comparison between original and used titanium miniplates
Tuncer, N; Demiralp, AS; Guven, O; Keskin, A; Bor, S (Elsevier BV, 1996-02-01)
Four dogs were chosen for this study, An experimental fracture was made in the mandibular symphysis region of each dog. Two miniplates and eight screws mere applied, and removed three and six months postoperatively.
Genetic evidence for the distinctness of Kangal dogs
Altunok, V; Koban, E; Chikhi, L; Schaffer, A; Pedersen, NC; Nizamlioglu, M; Togan, İnci Zehra (2005-01-01)
The genetic diversity of Kangal dogs (n=23) was analysed using 100 canine microsatellites, and the results were compared to Central Anatolian feral dogs (n=51), Akbash dogs (n=6), and Turkish greyhounds (TG, n=3). The Kangal, Akbash, Turkish greyhound and feral dogs were found to be significantly different from each other by F-ST measure. Factorial Correspondence Analysis (FCA), which evaluated the span of genotypic variation between individual dogs, yielded 4 distinct groups of the animals. Group I was com...
A Survey to Determine Security and Privacy Measures Needed for Genetic Information Exchange in Personal Health Records
Özkan, Özlem; Arsev Umur, Aydınoğlu; Aydın Son, Yeşim (2015-06-19)
In this study, our main focus was to understand necessities of a Personal Health Records (PHR) System for managing individuals’ health and genetic information. Recently the outcomes of Human Genome Project have begun to transform the clinic practice but still there is very limited number of studies in the area of genetic information exchange. Especially, the management of genetic information in the electronic environment and concerns about its security and privacy requires further research at national and i...
Genetic relationship between Kangal, Akbash and other dog populations
Koban, Evren; Gökçek Saraç, Çiğdem; Açan, Sinan Can; Savolainen, Peter; Togan, İnci Zehra (Elsevier BV, 2009-5)
Kangal and Akbash dogs are the two well-known shepherd dog breeds in Turkey. In order to contribute to the understanding of the genetic relationship between Kangal dogs, Akbash dogs and the dogs from different regions of Eurasia, 585 base pair (bp) segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was sequenced from Kangals and Akbashes. Sequences of the Kangal and Akbash dogs examined in the present study were comparatively examined with those of previous studies on dogs. Consensus neighbour-joining tree...
