Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated trigger points (TPs) in twelve military police working dogs, focusing on their locations and prevalence after intense physical activity, using standardized palpation techniques by independent examiners.
- - The highest percentage of TPs was found in the lumbar muscles (42%), with a significant number also in the hind limb muscles, predominantly on the right side of the body.
- - The results aim to improve understanding of myofascial pain in working dogs, potentially leading to better pain management strategies and reducing premature retirements caused by musculoskeletal issues.
Background: Few studies are available for assessing the current situation of 3D printing in veterinary medicine, due to the recent popularization of this technology. This study aimed to simulate a 3D model of the femorotibiopatellar joint of dogs based on the medial patellar luxation. The scanning, editing and printing of the femur, tibia, fibula and patella of a dog from the Laboratory of Anatomy of FMVZ USP were performed.
