Stance Analyzer www.petsafevet.com 3HOW IT WORKSThe Stance Analyzer works when a pet is placed on the device, with one leg in each quadrant of the unit. The unit then quickly measures the pet’s percentage of weight distribution in each leg, center of gravity and stability. A snap shot of the pet’s stance is taken through a remote control or directly through the Stance Analyzer software. The Stance Analyzer provide veterinarians with data to diagnose standing lameness and track treatment effectiveness overtime. The software allows printing of the graphs to share with pet owner’s to further demonstrate the patient’s progress. The Stance Analyzer is effective for pet’s weight X lbs up to XXX lbs.COMPONENTS1.

Unscrew the back of the remote control using a Phillips head screw driver.2. The remote uses a CR 2032 battery. Replace the battery. Replace the back of the remote and tighten the screws. CONDUCTING A STANCE ANALYSIS1. When starting to conduct a stance analysis, open the Stance Analyzer program. Then click the “Open Session” button at the top left of the screen. Either select the existing patient or click “create new” to create a new account.If creating a new patient file: A. Enter the patient owner’s first and last name, mobile number, e-mail address, street address, city, state, and zip code. B. Once you have entered the patient’s owner, choose or find the owner’s name on the list and select “edit” and enter the name of the patient. C. Choose cat or dog.D. Select the pets breed from the list. If the breed is unknown or mixed, select “other.”E. Enter the date of birth for the patient. F. A photo of the patient can also be loaded to the file. The image resizes to fit the profile space. Note: Multiple pets can be added to one owner. If you are collecting additional data on an existing patient:A. Search for patient using a data field, such as name or e-mail address. B. Select the record, and click “Open.”2. Calibrate the Stance Analyzer. To do this, remove all weight from the analyzer and press the “Zero Analyzer” button found at the upper right corner of the screen. This button may turn red while calibrating and will turn green after calibration is complete.

VET Therapy6 www.petsafevet.com3. Place the patient on the Stance Analyzer. The patient should be facing towards the PetSafe logo on the base pad. The patient must have one leg in each quadrant and be as still as possible. Note: A treat holding arm and clip have been developed as an accessory to the Stance Analyzer. A PetSafe Lickety Stik is helpful in keeping patients still. To use one, place the Lickety Stik in the Accessory Clip and place in front of the Stance Analyzer. Adjust the arm so that the Lickety Stik is positioned directly in front of the patient’s mouth. Important: When using a treat to keep the patient in place, the patient should not have to tilt his or her head back or lean down to use the Lickety Stik. This will skew the stance analysis. 4. Watch the patient on the Stance Analyzer. When the stance is representative of the patient’s stance, hit the “Capture Sample” button on the display screen, or hit Button 1 on the remote to take a sample. Repeat this process as many times as you desire. All samples will be stored and displayed on screen. Each sample is a single data capture. Consider taking 6-10 samples per session to get the most valid data from the patient. 5. The Stance Analyzer System will provide an average of the samples taken and display the results for Weight Distribution, Captured Samples, Center of Gravity and Weight Distribution History Graphs. For a full explanation of these graphs, see Display Definitions. 6. If the patient moves suddenly, lies down, or the sample seems skewed, it is necessary to delete the sample. Click on the red ‘x’ next to the invalid data.STABILITY TEST1. To complete a stability test for the patient, confirm the patient is positioned correctly on the Stance Analyzer. 2. To start the test, click the “Start Stability Capture” button under the Stability Graph on the screen or press “Button 2” on the remote control. 3. Once the system has collected the data, click the “Stop Stability Capture” or “Button 2” again. 4. Results of the Stability Test will be displayed on the Stability Graph. SAVING PATIENT DATA1. To save the patient’s data, click the “Close Session” button at the top of the screen. The system will ask “Are you sure you want to the session?” click “Yes”. The system will ask “Do you want to save the data?” click “Yes”. The system will store the average of the data and the date of collection for each patient. 2. To print a copy for a record or for the patient’s owner, click “Print.”

In a healthy patient, the front leg lines will overlap and the rear leg lines will overlap on the chart. When the patient is suffering from lameness the lines will not overlap. However, when a treatment method for lameness is showing progress in a patient, each of the front leg lines will begin to converge and each of the back leg lines will converge overtime. A “Notes” section is also provided to document patient notes, treatment, observations of the patient within the file. The notes are attached the each day’s session.
