Abstract：
The amputation of a limb in quadrupeds can overload the remaining limbs, especially the contralateral one. The compensatory effort is especially high if it is a forelimb. It is, therefore, important to objectively know the changes in weight redistribution that occur in the animal while walking and standing still. With this objective, static (postural) and dynamic kinetic examinations were carried out on five French bulldogs with an amputated forelimb and five intact French bulldogs. For this examination, force and pressure platforms were used. The results were statistically compared using the student t-test. The parameters derived from the ground reaction forces were significantly higher in the amputee group. Surprisingly, postural examination showed that amputated dogs reached the same stability as healthy ones. Tripedal support in dogs does not objectively imply a loss of balance in quantitative terms; although the increase in force used by the remaining limb, as well as its altered cranial disposition during the support phase, may potentially predispose the animal to additional injuries in the future due to an overuse of different musculoskeletal units.
摘要：
四足动物截肢会使剩余的肢体过载，尤其是对侧.如果是前肢，则补偿努力特别高。是的,因此,重要的是要客观地了解动物行走和站立时体重重新分配的变化。有了这个目标,对五只前肢截肢的法国斗牛犬和五只完整的法国斗牛犬进行了静态（姿势）和动态动力学检查。对于这次考试，使用力和压力平台。使用学生t检验对结果进行统计学比较。在截肢者组中，由地面反作用力得出的参数明显更高。令人惊讶的是,体位检查表明，截肢的狗达到了与健康狗相同的稳定性。狗的三足支撑在数量上并不客观地意味着失去平衡；尽管剩余肢体使用的力量增加，以及它在支撑阶段改变的颅骨分布，由于过度使用不同的肌肉骨骼单位，可能会使动物将来遭受额外的伤害。
