Resumo
A displasia coxofemoral é uma patologia da articulação coxofemoral, normalmente bilateral, que evolui para doença articular degenerativa, que envolve a cabeça do fémur, a cápsula articular e o acetábulo. Afecta todas as raças de ambos os sexos, sendo as raças de maior porte mais predispostas à doença. É uma doença multifactorial com intervenção de factores genéticos e ambientais. Com a evolução da doença, o animal apresenta sinais como dor, claudicação e atrofia muscular.
O diagnóstico é realizado através dos sinais clínicos, exames ortopédico e radiográfico, sendo possível um tratamento preventivo/médico ou cirúrgico.
A fisioterapia e acupuntura são áreas que ajudam no controlo de dor e reduzem a evolução da doença, assim como, mantêm a massa e força muscular.
Nesta dissertação foram apresentados três casos clínicos de cães com displasia de anca, o protocolo fisioterapêutico implementado e a recuperação alcançada.
Hip dysplasia is a joint abnormality, usually bilateral, progressing to degenerative joint disease that involves the head of the fémur, joint capsule and acetabulum. Affects all races, of both genders, being the large breeds more predisposed to the disease. It is a multifactorial disease that may be due to genetic and environmental factors. With the evolution of the disease, the animal shows signs such as pain, lameness and muscular atrophy. The diagnosis is made through clinical signs, orthopedic examination and radiographic images, being possible a preventive/medical or a surgical treatment. Physiotherapy and acupuncture are areas that help in pain control and reduce disease progression, as well as maintaining muscle mass and strength. In this dissertation three clinical cases of dogs with hip dysplasia were presented the therapeutic protocol implemented and the recovery achieved.
