HOW IT WORKS
The 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.

SETTING UP THE STANCE ANALYZER
Choose a level location for the Stance Analyzer. It should be within 5-6 feet of
a computer.
Plug the Stance Analyzer into a standard wall outlet. Ensure the base pad
is on the unit, with the PetSafe logo at the top of the unit. The pad is water
resistant and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and every day standard
cleaning supplies.
Do not plug the Stance Analyzer into the same electrical outlet as
the computer it will be connected to. Do not place a pet on the
Stance Analyzer without the pad in place. Toe and toe nails may
become stuck in the seam or edge of the Stance Analyzer.
Do not immerse any part of the unit in water. Do not pour water
directly on any part of the unit.
LOADING THE STANCE ANALYZER SOFTWARE
Important: Do not connect the Stance Analyzer to your computer until after the software has loaded.
1. Insert the PetSafe Stance Analyzer Start-Up CD into your computer device.
2. The Installation Wizard will walk you through the installation process. This window will open automatically. If your CD
does not run automatically, open My Computer and run the Set-Up file.
3. Attach the USB connector found on the Stance Analyzer to your computer. The USB connected is attached to the
Receiver Connector.
The RECEIVER SHOULD BE PLACED IN A SAFE PROTECTED AREA, where it will not be dropped or fall.
4. Depending on the prior configuration of the computer, the computer will likely prompt you for driver software for the
USB device. Choose the selection indicating Windows should choose the best option. This will occur twice (requires
two drivers).
5. After the driver software installs, open the PetSafe Stance Analyzer Software. Click on the PetSafe Stance Analyzer
Icon on your Desktop.
6. The Stance Analyzer is now ready.
REMOTE CONTROL
A remote control is provided for the Stance Analyzer. This captures stance data for a patient without having to the step
away from the patient. It will be a more accurate and quick data capture. The remote control may need to be paired with
the Stance Analyzer.

REMOTE PAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Hold programming button (in the electronics Box) for ~ 1 second.
2. Green light will flash.
3. Press either remote button twice (separated by ~ 1 second).
4. When accepted, the Green light will flash rapidly for ~ 2 seconds.
5. If no codes are recognized within 10 seconds, the Green light will stop flashing and no changes will occur.
REPLACING THE REMOTE BATTERY
If the remote control does not activate the Stance Analyzer to capture data, repair the remote and check the battery.
1. 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 ANALYSIS
1. 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.
Important: IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE “Zero Pads” FUNCTION IS PERFORMED PRIOR TO EACH PA-
TIENT SESSION.

3. 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 TEST
1. 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 DATA
1. 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.”

REVIEWING THE DATA
Within the charts, each line represents one of the patient’s leg.
PATIENT’S LEG LINE COLOR SYMBOL
Front Left Black
Front Right White
Back Left Red
Back Right Green
Select “Show all history” to see the patient’s
complete record, or select and compare data
from specific dates.
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.
