چکیده

OBJECTIVE To model the kinematics of the canine stifle in 3 dimensions using the Joint Coordinate System (JCS) and compare the JCS method with linear and segmental models. STUDY DESIGN In vivo biomechanical study. ANIMALS Normal adult mixed breed dogs (n=6). METHODS Dogs had 10 retroreflective markers affixed to the skin on the right pelvic limb. Dogs were walked and trotted 5 times through the calibrated space and the procedure was repeated 5 days later. Sagittal flexion and extension angle waveforms acquired during each trial with all 3 models (JCS, Linear, and Segmental) were produced simultaneously during each gait. The JCS method provided additional internal/external and abduction/adduction angles. Comparison of sagittal flexion and extension angle waveforms was performed with generalized indicator function analysis (GIFA) and Fourier analysis. A normalization procedure was performed. RESULTS Each model provided consistent equivalent sagittal flexion-extension data. The JCS provided consistent additional internal/external and abduction/adduction. Sagittal waveform differences were found between methods and testing days for each dog at a walk and a trot with both GIFA and Fourier analysis. After normalization, differences were less with Fourier analysis and were unaltered with GIFA. CONCLUSIONS Whereas all methods produced similar flexion-extension waveforms, JCS provided additional valuable data. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The JCS model provided sagittal plane flexion/extension data as well as internal/external rotation and abduction/adduction data.

In Vivo Kinematics of the Canine Stifle

Gait analysis in dogs has traditionally been performed using force plate measurements and/or video based kinematic gait analysis. Both alone or together are powerful instruments to objectively characterise canine gait in-vivo. Whereas force plate analysis represents global limb function, video based kinematic gait analysis provides measurements of limited precision only. Therefore, until today ...

Evaluation of inertial measurement units as a novel method for kinematic gait evaluation in dogs.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of inertial measurement units (IMU) for quantification of canine limb kinematics. METHODS Sixteen clinically healthy, medium-sized dogs were enrolled. Baseline kinematic data were acquired using an optical motion capture system. Following this baseline data acquisition, a harness system was used for attachment of IMU to the animals. Optical kinematic data of dogs...

Effect of Limb Position at the Time of Skin Marker Application on Sagittal Plane Kinematics of the Dog.

Objectives To evaluate the effect of limb position during initial skin marker application on sagittal plane kinematics of the hindlimb. Methods Six healthy dogs (20-30 kg) were evaluated. An established two-dimensional kinematic model of the pelvic limb was utilized to describe sagittal plane motion. Kinematic markers were applied separately for each dog while standing in three different positi...
