Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The usefulness of studying posture and its modifications due to locomotor deficiencies of multiple origins has been widely proven in humans. To assess its suitability in the canine species, static posturography and dynamic pedobarography were performed on lame dogs affected with unilateral elbow dysplasia and cranial cruciate ligament rupture by using a pressure platform. With this objective, statokinesiograms and stabilograms, the percentage of pressure distribution between limbs, paw area, mean pressure, and peak pressure, were obtained from lame and sound dogs. These data were compared with Peak Vertical Force values originated from a force platform in the same recording sessions.
RESULTS: Significant differences were found in the parameters mentioned above between sound and lame dogs and limbs.
CONCLUSIONS: Posturography and pedobarography are useful and reliable for the monitoring of fore and hindlimb lameness in dogs, providing a new set of parameters for lameness detection.
摘要:
背景:研究姿势及其由于多种起源的运动能力缺陷而引起的修改的有用性已在人类中得到广泛证明。为了评估其在犬类中的适用性,通过使用压力平台,对患有单侧肘部发育不良和颅交叉韧带破裂的跛脚犬进行了静态体位造影和动态足电极造影。有了这个目标,状态动力学图和稳定图,四肢之间压力分布的百分比,爪区,平均压力,和峰值压力,是从跛脚和健全的狗获得的。将这些数据与源自相同记录会话中的力平台的峰值垂直力值进行比较。
结果:在有声和跛脚的狗和四肢之间,在上述参数中发现了显着差异。
结论:姿势描记术和足电极描记术对于监测犬的前肢和后肢跛行是有用且可靠的,为跛行检测提供了一套新的参数。
