Abstract

Objective Our objective was to compare the peak vertical force (PVF) and vertical impulse (VI) between dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease and a tibial plateau angle (TPA) greater or less than 25 degrees.

Methods A retrospective study was performed in 18 dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease in which kinetic gait data were obtained with a pressure walkway system. Dogs were distributed in two groups: dogs with a TPA ≤ 25 degrees (n = 8) and dogs with a TPA > 25 degrees (n = 10). Mean PVF and VI in per cent of body weight (%BW) were compared between groups with an unpaired t-test (p < 0.05).

Results Mean PVF and VI for the cranial cruciate ligament disease limb were 14.39%BW and 3.57%BWs for dogs with a TPA >25 degrees and 14.44%BW and 3.47%BWs for dogs with a TPA ≤ 25 degrees. There was no significant difference in mean PVF and VI between the groups.

Conclusions The results suggest that there is no difference in kinetic data between dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease and a TPA greater or less than 25 degrees. Other factors such as body weight, time of injury or meniscal lesion could be more related to the magnitude of cranial cruciate ligament disease lameness.

颅交叉韧带病和胫骨平台角大于或小于25度的犬垂直力的比较分析。

摘要

目的 我们的目的是比较颅交叉韧带病和胫骨平台角（TPA）大于或小于25度的犬之间的峰值垂直力（PVF）和垂直冲动（VI）。

方法 对18只颅交叉韧带病犬进行回顾性研究，通过压力走道系统获得动力学步态数据。将狗分为两组：TPA≤25度（n  = 8）的狗和TPA> 25度（n  = 10）的狗。比较未配对t检验的各组之间的平均PVF和VI（按体重百分比（％BW））（p  <0.05）。

结果 TPA> 25度的犬的颅交叉韧带疾病肢体的平均PVF和VI为14.39％BW和3.57％BW，TPA≤25度的犬为14.44％BW和3.47％BW。两组之间的平均PVF和VI没有显着差异。

结论 结果表明，颅交叉韧带病和TPA大于或小于25度的犬之间的动力学数据没有差异。体重，受伤时间或半月板病变等其他因素可能与颅交叉韧带疾病la行的程度有关。
