The general clinical rule which is utilized is that
hip pain located
near or in the groin region is generally coming from a source inside the
hip joint (intra-articular).
- strengthening the upper body and core muscles for other gross motor tasks - strengthening the upper body and core muscles to create a stable base for fine motor skills - developing stability in the bones of the shoulder
joint (the ball and socket
joints of the shoulders and
hips are shallow and unstable at birth but are molded into stronger, more stable
joints through weight - bearing)- visual development to quickly shift focus from
near to far - hand - eye - coordination - providing plentiful early opportunities for motor planning (movement problem - solving)- refining balance - integrating the movement (vestibular), pressure & stretch (proprioceptive), visual and touch (tactile) sensory systems - learning to coordinate movements where two sides of the body are doing different movements - learning to coordinate upper body and lower body movements - developing body awareness and spatial awareness - fostering independence
In evaluating the
hips of dogs genetically predisposed to dysplasia, certain factors could make the
hips in the leg - extended radiographs appear worse, compared to another dog with presumably the same genes for
hip joint construction, such as a littermate or a dog with otherwise
near - identical genotype yet reared differently.
Data from the U.K. show males as having lower BVA scores (better
hips), which at one time was thought to be at least partly due to some females being in or
near estrus or postpartum at the time of radiography, at which time
joints were supposedly slightly looser.
For many years we breeders have been assuming that there regularly were differences in observable
hip joint laxity between films made in or
near estrus and those made in complete anestrus (not close to a heat cycle).
Miniature Poodles with inherited epiphyseal chondrodysplasia are rhizomelic (it seems the shortness of their limbs comes primarily from the retardation of growth
nearest the
hips and shoulders) and often have ventrodorsal compression of the chest and enlarged
joints.
