Abstract

The spinal movements in maximum arching, dipping and left and right lateral flexion were measured in 10 horses without signs of back pain. A system for motion analysis (Expert Vision System) was used to identify the position of the markers placed on the head, the spinous processes of T5, T10, T16, L3, and on 2 of the sacral spines. By definition, the maximum of the spinal movement was set when the T16 marker reached its maximum deviation from the start position. The difference between start position and maximum position was presented as per cent of the horse's height at the withers. At T16 the mean results for flexion (arching) of the back were 5.9% (s.d.0.9), for extension (dipping) -2.4% (s.d.0.7), for flexion to the left 4.2% (s.d.1.1), and for flexion to the right 5.3% (s.d.1.3).

摘要

对10匹无背痛迹象的马进行了最大弓背、下俯以及左右侧屈时的脊柱运动测量。使用一种运动分析系统（专家视觉系统）来确定放置在头部、第5、10、16胸椎棘突、第3腰椎以及2个骶椎棘突上的标记物的位置。根据定义，当第16胸椎标记物从起始位置达到其最大偏差时，设定为脊柱运动的最大值。起始位置与最大位置之间的差异以马肩隆高度的百分比表示。在第16胸椎处，背部前屈（弓背）的平均结果为5.9%（标准差0.9），后伸（下俯）为 -2.4%（标准差0.7），左侧屈为4.2%（标准差1.1），右侧屈为5.3%（标准差1.3）。
