چکیده
Methods Seven cats with OA in the stifle joint were included. The cats had signs of OA both on physical and radiographic examination. The cats were registered with a pressure mat (WalkwayTM System High Resolution HRV4) and data analysis was performed on two valid trials. The results were compared to previous results from 24 healthy cats. The comparison was made using a two tailed t-test for unpaired data.
