RESUMO

Through a kinematic study, was analyzed the gait of seven Golden Retrievers dogs, females, age between 2 to 4 years, weight varied of 21,5 kg to 28 Kg, clinically normal. Morphometric data were collected to describe the sample population. Temporal variable and joint movements were measured to describe the gait. Flexions and extension movements were described for the scapulohumeral, elbow, carpal, hip, femorotibial and tarsal joints. The gait was characterized lateral and had hypothesis of accepted normality for all the variables, except for the support of hip and support of elbow joints, considering a reliable degree of 95% or either, level of significance 0,05. The variations were attributed to the displacement of the targets during the movement and to trial repetition of individual dogs. Conclusions: The kinematics analysis proved to be a consistent method of evaluation of the movement during the canine gait and the database derived from the normal population in this study can be used in the comparison in evaluations of gait for other studies and baseline normality when compared in treatment of dogs with musculoskeletal diseases.
