“…Watkins et al (1991) showed goniometric measurements to be highly reliable when performed by the same professional. Conceição et al (2012) used three evaluators and Govoni et al (2012) used two; both studies reported no statistical difference between measurements.…”

“…Flexing is the movement of a distal segment member toward a proximal segment (decreased angle between the two segments), whereas extension is the opposite movement, i.e., in which the proximal and distal portions move away from each other (LIEM et al, 2012). The range of motion is calculated as the difference between maximum extension and maximum flexion of the joint, as reported by Conceição et al (2012).…”

“…Maximum extension and flexion were reached when the tissues offered resistance to the progression of movement. The goniometer was positioned in the joints according to Conceição et al (2012), and all measurements were performed by the same investigator. Results were expressed in degrees as mean ± standard deviation, and differences between age groups were assessed by Student's t-test (p < 0.05; SAS version 8.2).…”

“…Computerized photogrammetry requires digital photography and appropriate software. Goniometry, a statistical evaluation, has the advantages of simplicity and low cost (ALIEVI et al, 2004;GILLETTE;ANGLE, 2008;CONCEIÇÃO et al, 2012).…”

“…Veterinarians, in particular, employ goniometry to assess the extent and progression of joint diseases, as well as response to an established treatment (GAIAD et al, 2011;CONCEIÇÃO et al, 2012). However, the use of goniometric measures in the treatment of certain diseases requires the establishment of standards for the characterization of normal joints (ARAÚJO et al, 2009).…”

Using the goniometric method, it is possible to take measures of extension, flexion, abduction, and adduction of a synovial joint. The aim of this study was to use goniometry to compare flexion and extension of fore and hind limbs of Saanen goats at different ages. Flexion and extension angles of the shoulder, elbow, and carpus joints, as well as of the thigh, stifle, and tarsus joints, were measured using a standard goniometer on 10 six-month-old goats and on 15 three-year-old goats. The range of motion was reduced in all joints of the adult animals compared to that of the younger animals, but the difference was statistically significant only for the shoulder, elbow, stifle, and tarsus. It was noted that the greater muscle volume of adult animals influenced the flexion capacity of limbs (statistically verified for all joints), whereas young animals reached a more complete flexion with smaller angles than in adults. Therefore, we have shown that age affects goniometric measurements of synovial joints in Saanen goats. Such data may be useful in evaluation of joints in other goats. Key words: Flexion. Extension. Goniometer. Young. Adult. Caprine. ResumoPor meio do método goniométrico é possível tomar medidas de extensão e de flexão, abdução e adução de uma articulação sinovial. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os dados goniométricos dos membros torácicos e pélvicos de cabras da raça Saanen em diferentes idades quando submetidos a movimentos de extensão e flexão. Para tanto, foram utilizadas 10 cabras de seis meses de idade e 15 de três anos para medir os ângulos de flexão e extensão das articulações do ombro, cotovelo e carpo, bem como das articulações da coxa, joelho e do tarso com a utilização de um goniômetro universal. A amplitude de movimento foi reduzida em animais adultos em todas as articulações, mas estatisticamente significativa no ombro, cotovelo, joelho e tarso. Durante as medições verificou-se que o volume maior do músculo de animais adultos influenciou a capacidade de flexão dos membros, estatisticamente mostrado em todas as articulações estudadas. Por outro lado, os animais jovens atingiram flexão mais completa, com ângulos menores do que em adultos. Portanto, houve diferenças entre as idades estatisticamente significativas nos valores goniométricos dos membros torácicos e pélvicos quando esses foram submetidos a movimentos de flexão e extensão. Confirma-se, pois, que a idade interfere nos valores goniométricos das articulações sinoviais dos animais da raça Saanen e esses dados poderão ser utilizados na avaliação articular de caprinos.

Goniometric Evaluation and Passive Range of Joint Motion in Chondrodystrophic and Non-Chondrodystrophic Dogs of Different Sizes

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective This study aimed to evaluate angle values in maximal flexion and extension; the passive range of motion (PROM) of the shoulder, elbow, carpal, hip, stifle and tarsus; and the carpal abduction and adduction of chondrodystrophic (CD) and non-chondrodystrophic (NCD) dogs of different sizes. Study Design Goniometric evaluation was performed in triplicate using a universal goniometer. CD dogs were categorized into miniature, small, medium, large and giant sizes, whereas NCD dogs were allocated to small- and medium-size groups. Hence, each of the seven subgroups comprised 11 clinically healthy dogs. For data analysis, the Levene test was used to evaluate homoscedasticity. The means of each joint angle with the means in each group as well as the PROM between the CD and NCD groups was compared by the Student's t-test; meanwhile, the means of the joint angles and ROM among the sizes were compared by analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey test. In those cases, when no homogeneity variance was observed, the Bonferroni test was used. In every case, p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results The articular angles and PROM differed according to the dog size and type, that is, CD or NCD. Conclusion The goniometric values and PROM of dogs depend on the joint type, dog size and chondrodystrophy status. Further studies are necessary to increase the accuracy of the results and to establish the predominant factors governing the differences discovered.
