Reliable, standardized balance tests for dogs are not available yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of static and dynamic posturography in healthy dogs. Healthy dogs ( = 20) were positioned with four paws longitudinally and with the forepaws only transversely on a modified pressure-sensitive balance platform (Posturomed-FDM-JS, Zebris, Isny, Germany). Three static and dynamic posturographic trials were recorded (recording duration: 20 s) and repeated after 7-14 days. Center of pressure (COP) parameters COP-path-length (PL; mm), 95% COP-confidence-ellipse-area (CEA; mm), and COP-average-velocity (AV; mm/s) were calculated for the first steady-state 5 s intervals of each trial. The reliability of COP parameters was assessed with robust linear mixed effects models with nested random effects of patient and trial. The training effect was analyzed using Cohen's d. For static posturography, PL, CEA, and AV did not differ significantly between time points; CEA had the highest reliability ( = 0.92). For dynamic posturography, AV and PL differed significantly between time points (AV: ≤ 0.043; PL: ≤ 0.045). Slight training effects were observed for transverse positioning (Cohen's d: PL 0.65; AV 0.267) and moderate training effects for longitudinal positioning (Cohen's d: PL: 0.772; AV: 0.783). This study showed that static posturography on a modified Posturomed-balance platform was reliable in healthy dogs but indicated training effects during dynamic posturography.
目前还没有适用于犬类的可靠、标准化平衡测试。本研究的目的是调查健康犬静态和动态姿势描记法的可靠性。将20只健康犬的四只爪子纵向放置,仅前爪横向放置在一个改良的压敏平衡平台(Posturomed-FDM-JS,德国伊辛的Zebris公司)上。记录了三项静态和动态姿势描记试验(记录时长:20秒),并在7-14天后重复进行。计算每次试验第一个稳态5秒间隔的压力中心(COP)参数COP路径长度(PL;毫米)、95% COP置信椭圆面积(CEA;毫米)和COP平均速度(AV;毫米/秒)。使用具有患者和试验嵌套随机效应的稳健线性混合效应模型评估COP参数的可靠性。使用科恩d值分析训练效果。对于静态姿势描记法,各时间点之间的PL、CEA和AV差异不显著;CEA具有最高的可靠性(=0.92)。对于动态姿势描记法,各时间点之间的AV和PL差异显著(AV:≤0.043;PL:≤0.045)。横向放置观察到轻微的训练效果(科恩d值:PL 0.65;AV 0.267),纵向放置观察到中等训练效果(科恩d值:PL:0.772;AV:0.783)。本研究表明,在改良的Posturomed平衡平台上进行的静态姿势描记法在健康犬中是可靠的,但在动态姿势描记法期间显示出训练效果。
