To determine spinal stability and muscle activity, angular velocities in three anatomical planes and surface electromyography were measured using Delsys Trigno Sensors.Significant incremental stability challenges were observed across platforms. The thoracolumbar region activity increased in the sagittal (p < 0.001), coronal (p < 0.001), and transverse (p = 0.003) planes with decreasing platform stability. Similarly, the lumbosacral region angular velocity increased in the coronal and transverse plane (p < 0.001), with only the sagittal plane increasing on the Peanut (p < 0.001). Compared with the unstable stance, BF and MG activity was greater during stable stance (p = 0.005) and the Peanut (p = 0.001). RA activity was greater on the Peanut than during stable stance (p = 0.041), suggesting increased abdominal muscle recruitment.Challenging standing postural control with unstable platforms provides substantial and incremental increases in spinal movement and provides insights into muscle activation within progressive rehabilitation exercises.","PeriodicalId":51204,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145088162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to validate the recently published force-laxity relationship from a cadaver study and to determine the force necessary to measure a sufficient proportion of laxity present in coxofemoral joints in sedated dogs.Twenty-one dogs (10 Beagles and 11 Labrador Retrievers) underwent a radiographic protocol, including stress radiographs with increasing force, using the Vezzoni Modified Badertscher Distension-measuring Device. The Laxity Index (LI) and osteoarthritis (OA) were scored.The force-laxity curves and the maximal Laxity Index (LImax) were not significantly influenced by OA, gender or side. Weight was significantly associated with LImax and the force-laxity curves. Ninety per cent of hip joints achieved sufficient laxity at a force of 80.45 N, which is practically achievable and less than that in cadavers. Bias due to low LImax in the Labrador Retriever group and the only presence of radiographic signs of mild OA in the Beagle group should be considered.This study confirmed the relation between applied force and LI, the robustness of this stress radiography technique and the use of a minimum 80.45 N of measured force to reach sufficient LI. Future studies with inclusion criteria regarding a broad LImax range and OA scores should be conducted.","PeriodicalId":51204,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical records from 2017 to 2022 were reviewed to identify dogs with SH-1 or SH-2 fractures of the proximal tibial physis that had undergone surgical repair with Kirschner wires (K-wires), with or without a tibial tuberosity tension band. The TPA of the affected limb was measured by four investigators on radiographs taken prior to surgery, immediately postoperatively and at 4-8 weeks follow-up, with the average values recorded.A total of 32 dogs, 22 fractures repaired with K-wires and a tension band, and 10 with K-wires only. There was a mean decrease in TPA from injury to first reevaluation of 5.89 degrees (p < 0.001) and from immediately postoperatively to first reevaluation of 2.2 degrees (p = 0.018); however, no significant decrease in TPA was observed when comparing fractures repaired with or without a tension band.The TPA of dogs with SH-1 and SH-2 fractures of the proximal tibial physis decreased in the reevaluation interim following repair with K-wires with or without a tension band. Despite initial imperfect reduction, the risk of cranial cruciate ligament rupture may not be increased, potentially reducing the need for additional surgery if high TPA is observed postoperatively.
