Resumo
O método acelerométrico, para a análise biomecânica quando usado a campo tem mostrado vantagens com relação à videogrametria, permitindo obter dados cinemáticos e cinéticos e possuindo um processamento de dados mais rápido. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do crescimento sobre as características biomecânicas do passo e da marcha de potros da raça Mangalarga Marchador aos 30 e 180 dias de idade, e estabelecer parâmetros de referência para a raça. Os potros foram equipados com o sistema de análise de andamento Equimetrix® e acompanharam a trajetória da mãe, puxada no cabresto pelo treinador, à marcha e ao passo, com velocidade acompanhada por GPS. As variáveis cinemáticas (comprimento e frequência das passadas, regularidade, simetria e deslocamento dorsoventral do animal) e cinética (propulsão, potências dorsoventral e mediolateral e potência total) foram calculadas e obtidas com o equipamento de análise de andamento Equimetrix®. Durante o passo, as variáveis cinemáticas e cinéticas não apresentaram diferenças entre as duas idades. No andamento marcha, somente as variáveis frequência da passada (p=0,0092), simetria (p=0,0282) e potencia mediolateral (p=<0,0001) demonstraram alterações significativa entre as idades dos potros. Apenas a variável cinética potencia mediolateral (p=<0,0001) diferiu entre as idades. Conclui-se que a maior parte das características biomecânicas (cinemáticas e cinéticas) avaliadas, não se alterou nos potros da raça Mangalarga Marchador, à marcha e ao passo, nos primeiros seis meses de idade. Para determinar se este padrão será mantido, sugere-se a continuidade da avaliação seriada da marcha destes potros até atingirem a idade adulta.
The acelerometric method when used to analyze biomechanical parameters in the field has shown advantages in relation to the videogrammetry, enabling to obtain kinematic and kinetic data, and allowing faster gait data processing. The goals of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of nine foals, Mangalarga Marchador breed, at 30 and at 180 days of age, to establish parameters for the marcha gait in this breed. Foals were equipped with the gait analysis system Equimetrix®, and were allowed to follow the trajectory of their dams, at speed controlled by GPS. Kinematic (length and frequency of steps, and dorsoventral displacement of the animal) and kinetics (propulsion force) variables were calculated and obtained with the Equimetrix®. This technique is helpful to record the 3D acceleration data (longitudinal, dorsoventral and mediolateral) during the exercise. During step, the kinematic and kinetic characteristics did not change in the foals. During march gait, mean values for step frequency (SF) and symmetry were statistically different between the ages. It was concluded that most of the biomechanical characteristics (kinematic and kinetic) evaluated, did not change in the Mangalarga Marchador foals, gait and step in the first six months of age. To determine if this pattern will be maintained, we suggest continuity of the serial evaluation of gait of these foals until they reach adulthood.
