Abstract
OBJECTIVETo establish a three-foot weight-bearing canine model to imitate the biomechanical loading environment of the human's hip joint. To observe and compare the kinetic changes of hind limbs between normal and three-foot weight bearing canines.METHODSUsing 10 beagles, three-foot weight-bearing canine models were made by fixing unilateral wrist joints at 90 epsilon flexionally. The changes of ground reaction forces and the time of standing phases (Ts) of the hind limbs were compared by 3-D gait analysis pre- and postoperatively.RESULTSCanines could walk well with three limbs after the fixation of one fore limb. However, the gait pattern changed tremendously. The canine walked jumpily by raising its head and neck, and the bilateral hind limbs kept contacting ground alternately. Ts of ipsilateral hind limb was (0.48+/-0.04)s, and Ts of contralateral hind limb was (0.46+/-0.06)s. Although, the time durations were increased a little, but there were no significant differences when compared with that of normal c
