Scales for Measuring Weight Bearing
Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2021 3:01 am
Hello again!
I hope all is well in Canada!
I was watching your Iliopsoas lecture (awesome information, BTW!!) and it brought me to your Return to Sport Check List (also awesome!).
I don't see many sporting dogs, but I was thinking of making one of these for my geriatric cases (more of a functional checklist) and post-ops.
For the weight bearing section, I don't have a stance analyzer so I typically use pictures/videos/visual eval. I saw that bathroom scales were mentioned...how would those be used for stance analysis? One under each paw to see if the front legs are the same weight and the back legs are the same?
I love your site and always learn so much from you! It is always much appreciated
Have a great day,
SB
