Purpose: In this study, Pedobarographic examination of a healthy German Dog was performed, temporo-spatial and kinetic walking values were obtained for the forelimb and hindlimb. Data of this method, which can be used in clinical examination for animals, were evaluated by making foot pressure maps. Material-Method: A clinically healthy German Shepherd Dog (8 years old, 30 kilograms) was used in the study. A pressure sensitive walking plate was used for pedobarographic measurements. This plate is 2 meters tall and 60 centimeters wide. The dog was carried out a total of 16 times on this plate. During walking, the forelimb and hindlimb kinetic data were recorded separately. Results: The dog was walked at 3.4 kilometers per hour. While walking, the forelimb applied an average of 239 Newtons, the hindlimb applied an average of 213 Newtons to the ground. When the pressure maps were examined, it was seen that the maximum force applied by the digital pads on the ground was more than the metapodial pads. Conclusion: During normal walking, kinetic data of the forelimb were higher than those of the hindlimb. In addition, it was seen that the data of each digital pads could be obtained by Pedobarographic method. This system is thought to be useful in the veterinary field.
