  • Title: Effects of subject velocity on force plate-measured ground reaction forces in healthy greyhounds at the trot.
    Author: Riggs CM, DeCamp CE, Soutas-Little RW, Braden TD, Richter MA.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1993 Sep; 54(9):1523-6. PubMed ID: 8239144.
    Abstract:
    Force plate gait analysis was used to study the effects of subject velocity on ground reaction forces. Seven adult Greyhounds were trotted at 3 distinct velocities: 1.5 to 1.8 m/s, 2.1 to 2.4 m/s, and 2.7 to 3.0 m/s. Forelimb and hind limb peak vertical forces increased with increase in velocity (P < 0.05). Forelimb and hind limb vertical impulses decreased as velocity increased (P < 0.05). Significant variations were not observed for craniocaudal or mediolateral peak forces or impulses. It was concluded that velocity significantly (P < 0.05) influenced ground reaction forces and impulses, and must be controlled in experimental design.
