Reabilitação em cães com atrofia muscular induzida

Abstract

The response to different physiotherapeutic protocols was evaluated in dogs with muscle atrophy induced by a 30-day-long immobilization of the stifle joint. The animals were divided in groups namely: C (control), M (massage and passive range of motion), E (massage, passive range of motion and neuromuscular electrical stimulation), H (massage, passive range of motion and hydrotherapy in underwater treadmill), and EH group (massage, passive range of motion, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and hydrotherapy in underwater treadmill). The degree of lameness, range motion, thigh circumference, range of serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were then evaluated, as well as the morphometry of fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers of the vastus lateralis by immunohistochemistry. Group H dogs regained function of the right hind limb faster than the other groups. This result shows that hydrotherapy helped in the recovery process of lame dogs. Physiotherapy reduced the joint contracture. There was a higher recovery rate of cross-sectional area of slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers and thigh circumference in dogs submitted to neuromuscular electrical stimulation at 60 days post-surgery. According to these results, it was possible to conclude that therapeutics modalities such as massage, passive range of motion of the joint, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and hydrotherapy by walking on underwater treadmill accelerate clinical recovery in dogs with induced muscle atrophy

Avaliou-se a resposta de diferentes protocolos fisioterapêuticos em cães após a indução de atrofia muscular por meio da imobilização do joelho por 30 dias. Os grupos foram denominados grupo C ou controle, grupo M (massagem e movimentação passiva), grupo E (massagem, movimentação passiva e eletroterapia), grupo H (massagem, movimentação passiva e hidroterapia em esteira aquática) e grupo EH (massagem, movimentação passiva, eletroterapia e hidroterapia em esteira aquática). Foram mensurados, os graus de claudicação, amplitude articular, circunferência da coxa, variação sérica das enzimas creatina-quinase e lactato-desidrogenase, bem como a morfometria muscular das fibras de contração rápida e contração lenta do músculo vasto lateral marcadas pela técnica de imunoistoquímica. Os cães do grupo H apresentaram retorno mais precoce à função do membro pélvico direito, mostrando que a hidroterapia pode ser beneficamente empregada para a recuperação em cães claudicantes. A fisioterapia reduziu a contratura articular. Verificou-se maior recuperação da área transversal das fibras musculares de contração lenta e rápida nos cães submetidos à eletroterapia aos 60 dias de pós-operatório. De acordo com os resultados encontrados, foi possível concluir que as modalidades terapêuticas de massagem, movimentação passiva da articulação, estimulação elétrica neuromuscular e hidroterapia por caminhada em esteira aquática aceleram a recuperação clínica em cães com atrofia muscular induzida
