Gait was analyzed by use of a pressure-sensing walkway.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> All limbs of all pigs of group 2 had syndactyly. Two forelimbs had complex-1 syndactyly, and 8 forelimbs had complex-2 syndactyly. Four hind limbs had simple syndactyly, 1 hind limb had complex-1 syndactyly, and 5 hind limbs had complex-2 syndactyly. Kinetic and temporospatial values and symmetry indices did not differ between groups. Plantar and palmar surfaces of healthy pigs had 2 areas of maximum pressure, whereas plantar and palmar surfaces of pigs with syndactyly had only 1 area of maximum pressure.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> In this population of pigs, the most common type of syndactyly was complex-2, and comparison with the healthy group revealed no alteration in kinetic and temporospatial variables. Therefore, results suggested that syndactyly in young minipigs did not cause locomotor disturbances.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.77.9.976","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,31]],"date-time":"2016-08-31T18:39:39Z","timestamp":1472668779000},"page":"976-982","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Radiographic and computed tomographic evaluation and gait analysis of Brazilian minipigs with syndactyly"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Pedro L.
