🐕New research from the Royal Veterinary College has revealed that three-legged dogs use different movement strategies at different speeds, including a gallop-like gait at higher speeds that resembles movement in four-legged dogs.
It gives important new insights about limb loss which could help inform both rehabilitation strategies for canine amputees.
🤖 The findings may also help inform the development of adaptive legged robots capable of responding to limb loss.
