ABSTRACT

This study set out to determine normal values for acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography of the superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon, accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor tendon and suspensory ligament in horses. Twenty-four horses were submitted to conventional sonographic assessment and elastography imaging (quantitative ARFI method) of distal forelimb tendons and ligaments at nine anatomical regions. Elastograms depicted tendons and ligaments in orange to red tones consistent with greater stiffness. Shear wave velocity was higher in the longitudinal compared to the cross-sectional plane but did not differ significantly between the left and right forelimbs. The suspensory ligament was stiffer compared to remaining structures in the cross-sectional plane. Ligaments were stiffer than tendons and the deep digital flexor tendon was stiffer than the superficial digital flexor tendon in the longitudinal plane. Target structures were stiffer in male compared to female horses and stiffness tended to increase with age. ARFI elastography proved to be a feasible and reproducible imaging modality for assessment of distal forelimb tendons and ligaments in horses. Qualitative features derived from stiffness quantification in these structures can be applied to horses with musculoskeletal disorders, as well as to other animal species.(AU)


Este trabalho objetivou estabelecer valores de referência por meio da elastografia ARFI ("Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse") do tendão flexor digital superficial, tendão flexor digital profundo, ligamento acessório inferior e ligamento suspensor do boleto em equinos hígidos. Vinte e quatro equinos foram submetidos aos exames ultrassonográfico e elastográfico (método ARFI quantitativo) dos tendões e ligamentos da porção distal do membro torácico, em nove regiões anatômicas diferentes. Os elastogramas mostraram tendões e ligamentos de coloração alaranjada a vermelha, que representam maior rigidez. Não houve diferenças em relação ao membro avaliado; as velocidades de cisalhamento foram maiores nos planos longitudinais. No plano transversal, os ligamentos suspensores foram mais rígidos em comparação aos demais. No plano longitudinal, os ligamentos mostraram-se mais rígidos que os tendões, e o tendão flexor digital profundo, mais rígido que o tendão flexor digital superficial. As estruturas mostraram-se mais rígidas nos machos, e houve uma tendência à maior rigidez em animais mais velhos. A elastografia ARFI comprovou ser um método viável e reprodutível para avaliação dos tendões e ligamentos dos membros torácicos de equinos. As características qualitativas obtidas a partir da rigidez dessas estruturas podem ser utilizadas para testes em equinos com distúrbios musculoesqueléticos e também em outras espécies animais.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Horses performing tasks is a common scene in urban centers, evidenced by the significant number of animals pulling carts along the streets (cart horses). Despite the rising concern of the population for animal welfare, as well as the creation of laws that prohibit traction activity in several Brazilian municipalities, these attitudes must be based on the impact of such activity on equine health. Locomotor system disorders are commonly observed in animals of this species, and become even more frequent when they are submitted to unhealthy working conditions. In this context, we conducted a survey on locomotor system disorders in 11 active draft horses. To this end, we performed lameness assessments and radiographic and ultrasound examinations. Information on management regarding the horses' hooves, type of harness used, and type of work performed was also obtained through the application of questionnaires to the owners. The collected data showed that, although most of the animals in the study presented critical orthopedic conditions, they were not treated and the horses did not rest for adequate time. We observed that the disorders, which are often chronic, may be directly associated with incorrect management of the animals. We emphasize the importance to disseminate information that values the welfare of traction animals in order to tackle mistreatment.(AU)


Cavalos desempenhando tarefas para o homem é ainda uma cena marcante nos centros urbanos, evidenciada pela grande quantidade de animais que tracionam carroças pelas ruas (carroceiros). Apesar da crescente preocupação da população com o bem estar animal, assim como a criação de leis que proíbem a atividade de tração em diversos municípios brasileiros, é imprescindível que estas atitudes estejam embasadas no impacto de tal atividade sobre a saúde dos equinos. Nesta espécie, afecções do aparelho locomotor são comuns, tornando-se ainda mais frequentes quando os animais são submetidos a condições insalubres de trabalho. Por conseguinte, este estudo promoveu um levantamento das afecções que acometem o aparelho locomotor de 11 equinos de tração em atividade, por meio de exames de claudicação, radiográficos e ultrassonográficos. Informações sobre manejo realizado pelos proprietários quanto aos cascos de seus animais, tipos de arreios utilizados e tipo de trabalho ao qual eram submetidos foram obtidas através de questionários. Verificou-se ao relacionar dados coletados, que a maioria dos animais do estudo apresentava afecções ortopédicas importantes, e que, entretanto, não eram tratados ou mantidos em repouso por tempo adequado. Observou-se que as afecções encontradas, muitas vezes crônicas, podem ter relação direta com o manejo incorreto dos animais, e ressalta-se a importância da disseminação de informações que prezem pelo bem estar do animal de carroça, a fim de combater maus tratos nesta categoria animal.(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El presente trabajo investigativo surge debido a la necesidad de crear un medio de enseñanza con actividades que les permita a los estudiantes comprobar, de manera sistémica, el aprendizaje de los conocimientos relacionados con los conjuntos esqueléticos de cada segmento corporal del Sistema Locomotor Humano, recibidos en la asignatura Morfología Funcional II, la cual se imparte en el 1er año de la carrera de Cultura Física. El libro de texto de la asignatura no brinda esta posibilidad. Para realizar el estudio se aplicaron fundamentalmente métodos a nivel empíricos, tales como la revisión de documentos, la encuesta y la entrevista. Se trabajó con una muestra de 115 estudiantes de primer año de la carrera y tres profesores, quienes imparten la materia. Las actividades contenidas están organizadas por cada segmento corporal del sistema locomotor humano, según el programa de la asignatura, acompañadas de esquemas y figuras para marcar, identificar, seleccionar, caracterizar y clasificar detalles anatómicos que se precisen, aumentando su nivel de complejidad. Estas actividades se ofrecen además como herramienta para ser utilizada en otras asignaturas del ciclo biológico y del ejercicio de la profesión.


ABSTRACT The research work Activities on skeletal sets of each body segment of the Human Locomotor System in the 1st year of the career of Physical Culture, arises due to the need for a teaching medium for the subject of Functional Morphology II that contains systemically activities that allows the students to check the learning of the knowledge related to the skeletal assemblies of each body segment of the Human Locomotor System, since the subject's textbook does not provide this possibility, which hinders the consolidation of knowledge about sets skeletal of each body segment of the Human Locomotor System, the programmed activities are necessary and essential for the understanding of the work object of the professional of our career and facilitates the acquisition, deepening and consolidation of knowledge about the locomotor system, activities on joint skiing Elastics of each body segment of the Human Locomotor System are also offered as a tool to be used in other subjects of the biological cycle and the exercise of the profession. The activities that are presented are organized by each body segment of the human locomotor system according to the program of the subject, accompanied by diagrams and figures to mark, identify, select, characterize, classify anatomical details that are needed, increasing their level of complexity. It gives solution to the insufficiency of activities that for the teaching and learning process of the skeletal groups of each body segment of the human locomotor system presents the subject of Functional Morphology II and its application in professional work.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as principais causas de claudicação em cavalos Crioulos em treinamento para a prova do Freio de Ouro e competições de rédeas. Foram avaliados os registros clínicos de 201 cavalos Crioulos, 5,6 2,1 anos de idade, submetidos a exame físico devido à presença de claudicação ou histórico de baixo rendimento atlético entre os anos de 2002 a 2009. A claudicação foi localizada nos membros torácicos e pélvicos em 47,1 por cento (n=105) e 52,9 por cento (n=118), respectivamente. Nos machos, houve uma predominância de claudicação nos membros pélvicos (60,0 por cento) e nas fêmeas nos membros torácicos (57,1 por cento). Nos membros torácicos, 17,1 por cento (18/105) das alterações foram diagnosticadas proximais à articulação metacarpofalangeana, 14,3 por cento (15/105) na articulação metacarpofalangeana e 68,6 por cento (72/105) estavam localizadas distais à articulação metacarpofalangeana. Nos membros pélvicos, 78,8 por cento (93/118) apresentaram a origem da dor na região do tarso, 17,8 por cento (21/118) proximal ao tarso e 3,4 por cento (4/118) distal ao tarso. As articulações interfalangeanas distais e intertarsiana distal/tarsometatarsiana são importantes fontes de dor e inflamação e estiveram mais frequentemente envolvidas em claudicações de membro torácico e pélvico, respectivamente. Os cavalos Crioulos apresentam problemas de claudicação semelhantes aos descritos em outras raças que participam de provas de rodeio.


This study aimed to identify the source of lameness in Criollo horses that are competing in the most important discipline for this breed in Southern Brazil and also in reining competitions. Clinical records of adult Criollo horses (n=201), 5.6 2.1 years of age, that underwent lameness examination due to history of poor performance or lameness between 2002/2009 were analyzed. Lameness was diagnosed in the front limbs in 47.1 percent (n=105) and in the hind limbs 52.9 percent of the cases (n=118). In males 60.0 percent of the lameness cases were located in the hind limbs. In females 57.1 percent of the lameness cases were located in the front limbs. In the front limbs (47.1 percent, n=105/201), problems proximal to the fetlock were diagnosed in 17.1 percent (18/105). Fetlock problems were diagnosed in 14.3 percent (15/105) and lesions located distal to the fetlock level were seen in 68.6 percent (72/105) of the lameness cases diagnosed in the front limbs. In the hind limbs, problems located proximal to the tarsus were seen in 17.8 percent (21/118), 78.8 percent (93/118) in the tarsus and 3.4 percent (4/118) of the cases were seen distal to the tarsus. The distal interfalangeal joint in the front limbs and the distal tarsal joints in the hind limbs were the two most important sources of lameness. Criollo horses presented similar lameness problems as described in other show horses (reining, cutting and roping). This is the first lameness study done in Criollo horses and it will help to better understand the musculoskeletal diseases affecting this breed.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To make recent selected publications on the locomotor system available to the readership of Clinics. METHOD: A general survey of articles published in selected Brazilian journals was inspected and 91 articles were critically analyzed. They were categorized and briefly described. A final summary of themes is reproduced here. RESULTS: Papers fall into two main categories: articular and muscular pathology and therapeutics; medical sports. A number of papers are not classifiable under these headings. CONCLUSION: The locomotor system has been extensively analyzed and discussed in the Brazilian scientific press in recent years. Not surprisingly, knee and ankle pathology, soccer and running are dominant themes.

ABSTRACT

The present work revises the fundamental aspects of postural biomechanics for the elaboration of corrective gymnastics. The pelvis is the most important structure for the entire posture. The lumbar spine receives all the body weight above the pelvis and is the first region to present symptoms of postural disorders. The principles for corrective gymnastics are: to work with only the body weight in the initial phases of the program; to exercise all the locomotor system as well as the affected part; to respect individual limits. Severe lesions during the practice of corrective gymnastics are infrequent. They appear randomly and accidentally and are mostly common within the first semester.


O presente trabalho é uma revisão dos aspectos fundamentais da biomecânica postural com vistas ao desenho de ginásticas corretivas posturais. A pelve é a estrutura-chave para toda a postura. A coluna lombar suporta todo o peso corporal acima da pelve e é a primeira região do sistema locomotor a apresentar sintomas quando ocorrem distúrbios posturais. Os princípios para ginásticas corretivas são: usar apenas o peso do próprio corpo nas fases iniciais de treinamento; exercitar de maneira ampla todo o sistema locomotor, além da região especificamente acometida; respeitar os limites individuais. Lesões graves durante a prática de ginásticas corretivas são pouco freqüentes e ocorrem em natureza aleatória, acidental e geralmente no primeiro semestre de treinamento.

ABSTRACT

Rheumatic diseases, which primarily target the locomotor system, affect multiple organs and systems, which their fluctuating course demanding constant clinical and laboratory follow-up. Laboratory tests, however, may remain unchanged in people with definite rheumatic disease, while many normal people may show false-positive results. On the other hand, symptoms may precede laboratory alterations in weeks or even months, making a thorough knowledge of such interplay essential for the assistant doctor ordering these exams.
