New research shows cognitive decline in dogs is associated with a shorter stride length—specifically in their front limbs.
The work provides a more complete picture of dogs that are developing dementia, potentially allowing earlier detection and providing another means of monitoring progress.
“We know that in humans, changes in stride length have been linked to cognitive impairment and dementia,” says Natasha Olby, professor of neurology and a chair in gerontology at North Carolina S
