Abstract. The challenge of measuring pain in veterinary medicine is compounded by the lack of fully validated, reliable methods to measure and assess pain in nonverbal patients. In human medicine, there are numerous, validated pain assessment tools (PATs) for assessing various, specific types of pain. The advances in human medicine pain management and numerous validated pain scales should serve as incentives and templates to facilitate similar advances in the development of validated PATs for use in dogs (and other species). The limited number of canine PATs constrains our ability to adequately and reliably assess pain. Improving the ability to quantify osteoarthritis and postoperative pain in dogs would enhance the development of analgesics for animals, advance the management of animal pain, facilitate the use of animal pain models in preclinical trials for human analgesics, and provide insight into the quantification of pain responses in humans who lack the ability to adequately communicate. This review describes the need for practical, valid, and reliable PATs for use in veterinary patients and discusses some currently available PATs commonly used to evaluate acute and chronic pain in dogs.

“…Porém, apenas nos últimos 15 anos a avaliação pós-cirúrgica mediante meios sistematizados de cálculo vem sendo empregados nestas espécies (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). A avaliação subjetiva da deambulação é a principal ferramenta utilizada pelo ortopedista veterinário (9). Porém, deficiências vêm sendo relatadas com respeito a essa prática quando compara-se com testes mais acurados (10).…”

Los índices de simetría en la marcha de caninos han sido escasamente reportados. Falta consenso y se desconoce el efecto de la normalización en los resultados, sobre todo en la ortogonal craneocaudal. La cinética de la marcha en el ciclo de trote de quince perros mestizos se analizó mediante una plataforma de fuerza amplificada buscando determinar la simetría en la marcha. Se determinó el índice de simetría (IS) bajo dos sistemas de normalización de los datos en caninos entonces: normalización por el peso corporal y normalización por las características morfométricas bidimensionales de los miembros. Se obtuvieron variables dinámicas primarias de estudio como el IS en el tiempo e impulso hasta el pico de fuerza y otras variables secundarias como resultado de la amplificación de la plataforma de fuerza. Los valores para cada ensayo se utilizaron para calcular media, desviación estándar y coeficiente de variación entre individuos y entre los animales. Las variables en la ortogonal craneocaudal fueron más irregulares y asimétricas que en la ortogonal vertical y tuvieron una menor correlación con la normalización por la masa corporal. La normalización por el peso corporal mostró una mayor eficacia que la normalización por las características morfométricas bidimensionales de los miembros ratificándose su uso en estudios de cinética en caninos. Se determinó que los índices de simetría no deben ser inferiores a 0,90 y 0,75 en las ortogonales vertical y craneocaudal respectivamente. Valores superiores a los descritos son valores aceptables para caninos normales y sin alteraciones ortopédicas.

“…A grande variação desta força associada à baixa amplitude inicial observada na andadura do cão tem resultados pouco significativos. Cada uma das formas da locomoção do cão promove um modelo específico de força de reação ao solo (DECAMP, 1997). Por causa da simetria e velocidade convenientes, o passo e o trote são as locomoções convencionais mais utilizadas para avaliação de claudicação (WEIGEL et al, 2005).…”

DEDICATÓRIAThe animals were handled across force platform, at the walk, on the left side of the handler, at a constant speed. Twenty trials were recorded to database formation of peak vertical forces (PVF), vertical impulses (VI) and stance phase of forelimbs and hind limbs of the dogs with hip dysplasia and the same to healthy dogs. Five valid trials were obtained for statistical analysis. Among dogs, ground reaction forces were normalized and expressed as percentage of body weight (%BW). The average of stance phase for forelimbs and hind limbs of group I was 0,442 s ± 0,09, e 0,437s ± 0,088, respectively. In group II the values were 0,482 s ± 0,002 for forelimbs and 0,450 s ± 0,006 for hind limbs. In group I, the peak vertical force (PVF) and vertical impulse (VI) for forelimbs were 44,03%BW ± 4,7 and 12,52 %BW/s ± 4,04, respectively, and 27,87%BW ± 4,5 and 7,88 %BW/s ± 2,9 for hind limbs. In group II, the values of PVF and VI for forelimbs were 44,04%BW ± 6,7 e 13,08%BW/s ± 4,5,respectively. For hind limbs the average value of PVF 21,75%BW ± 5,7 and the average of VI was 6,3%BW/s ± 2,7. Peak vertical force was significantly decreased in hind limbs of group II when compared with group I (p=0.062). The other values of stance phase, PVF e VI for fore and hind limbs had no statistical difference. These values indicated decreased loading function in hind limbs of dogs with hip dysplasia, during the locomotion. The database of dogs with hip dysplasia, at the walk, was formed with these results and can be used in futures evaluations of various models of treatment for hip dysplasia.
