“…As modificações musculoesqueléticas oriundas do treinamento com rédea Pessoa, tem sido acompanhada por aumentos da flexão da articulação lombossacral (WALKER et al, 2013), bem como a maior movimentação vertebral da região toracolombar (GOMEZ ALVAREZ et al, 2006) e com maior propulsão . Estes resultados são justificados pela ação combinada da cabeça/pescoço baixa juntamente a pressão aplicada ao membro pélvico pelo tensionador, que podem ativar os flexores da pélvis (psoas menor e maior), a musculatura abdominal (abdominal oblíquo), e com maior engajamento dos posteriores (OLIVEIRA et al, 2014). Contudo, o monitoramento da ativação dos músculos citados acima não foi possível ser realizada, com o uso da termografia infravermelha, por fazerem parte da cadeia muscular profunda.…”

“…Esta ação ativa o dorso do animal, ou seja, desenvolve a musculatura da região dorsolombar (FIELDER, 2008), mais especificamente o músculo superficial, Longíssimus dorsi (COTTRIALL, et al, 2009). Já a rédea Pessoa ou Neco possui um "tensionador", colocado atrás do joelho e acima do jarrete, que encoraja o cavalo a trazer seus posteriores para baixo de seu corpo (OLIVEIRA et al, 2014). Desta forma, o cavalo trabalha com o pescoço mais encurvado, promove o engajamento dos posteriores, intensificando o desenvolvimento da musculatura lombar (BAYLEY, 2010).…”

RESUMO Objetivou-se identificar o padrão de ativação da musculatura superficial, por meio da termografia infravermelha, em cavalos atletas submetidos ao treinamento com rédea Pessoa ou lateral, monitorando-se as regiões cervical, torácica, dorsal, abdominal e pélvica. Foram utilizados dez equinos atletas da raça Quarto de Milha, delineados em parcelas subdivididas, resultando em dez repetições por tratamento. Utilizou-se dois tratamentos; no primeiro grupo os cavalos foram treinados a guia com o uso da rédea Pessoa e no segundo tratamento realizou-se o treino mediante uso da rédea Lateral. Imagens termográficas foram realizadas após dez minutos de trabalho a guia com as rédeas Pessoa e Lateral. As temperaturas médias da pele (Tp) foram analisadas para cinco regiões específica do corpo do cavalo, representando as regiões cervical, torácica, dorsal, abdominal e pélvica. Verificou-se ausência de efeito significativo (P>0,05) do uso das rédeas auxiliares Pessoa e Lateral sobre a ativação da musculatura superficial das regiões corporais cervical, torácica, dorsal, abdominal e pélvica, no qual os valores observados para Tp foram, respectivamente,

“…The multifidus muscle has garnered much attention in the equine literature due to implied associations of atrophy with axial spine disease ( 9) like what is reported in humans (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Rehabilitation methods have focused on promoting hypertrophy of this structure (24,35) however, muscle activity has never been directly measured. The work presented here is the first to document the overall muscle work and peak activity of the multifidus muscle in relation to specific therapeutic exercises and training devices.…”

Electromyography of the Multifidus Muscle in Horses Trotting During Therapeutic Exercises

et al. 2022

Thoracolumbar pain has been identified in both human and equine patients. Rehabilitation and conditioning programs have focused specifically on improving trunk and abdominal muscle function (1–5). Equine exercise programs routinely incorporate ground poles and training devices for the similar goals of increasing spinal and core stability and strength (6–8). The multifidus muscle has been an area of focus due to atrophy associated with disease (9). To date, there have been no reports on the activity of the multifidus muscle in horses in relation to therapeutic exercises. Our objectives were to use electromyography to determine the average work performed and peak muscle activity of the multifidus in horses trotting, trotting over ground poles, trotting while wearing a resistance band-based training device and trotting while wearing the training device over ground poles. We hypothesized that ground poles and the training device would each increase average work performed and peak multifidus muscle activity. Right and left cranial thoracic locations showed significant increased muscle work and peak activation when horses were trotted over ground poles versus without. The peak activation was significantly greater in horses trotting over poles in both lumbar regions, but there was no significant change in peak activation in either location due to the training device. When the influence of the training device was investigated without ground poles, left caudal thoracic muscle work and peak activity, and right lumbar muscle work were significantly lower when using the training device, as compared to without. When the training device was combined with trotting over ground poles, both left and right caudal thoracic regions showed significantly lower muscle work and peak activity when the device was used. There was no significant difference between with and without the device in either left or right lumbar muscle work. In conclusion, implementing ground poles can be an effective strategy to increase the activation of the multifidus muscle, however, caution should be taken when incorporating the use of a resistance band training device as muscle work and peak activation were significantly reduced in most locations. Further study should be performed in regards to the training device to determine its effects on epaxial musculature.

“…The good results of the current research were due to the head/neck positions required by the dynamic mobilization exercises recruited the deep muscles responsible for the vertebral posture (Clayton, 2004). According to Oliveira et al, (2014), the head and neck position that the horse assumes has great interference in the mobilization of the thoracolumbar segment.…”

This study aimed to investigate the kinematic effects of dynamic mobilization exercises on the axial segment in horses. Twelve horses crossbreed were used, which were monitored before (day 0) and at the end of the experimental period (day 120), distributed in an entirely randomized design, totalizing six repetitions per treatment The treatments consisted of two experimental groups, one composed of horses not performing the dynamic mobilization exercises and the other composed of horses submitted to the mobilization program. The static kinematic variables were evaluated, by means of hemispherical markers such as depth (cm), angle (°), difference in depth and angle, for each vertebral level analyzed (T10, T13, T17, L1 and L3), as well as total range of motion for depth and angle, in which this parameter expressed the thoracolumbar motion in its entirety. The performance of dynamic mobilization produced a significant (P<0.05) decrease in thoracolumbar depth and increase in thoracolumbar flexion angle, compared to the group that did not perform the functional exercises. A reduction in the total thoracolumbar depth of -6.28 cm (P<0.0001) was observed in horses that underwent the exercises. The same response behavior was verified for angular measurement, in which there was an increase in the total ROM of the angle, reflecting thoracolumbar flexion, of 15.54°(P<0.00001). It was concluded that dynamic mobilization exercises consistently produce flexion of the axial segment, becoming a potential tool to improve range of motion and thoracolumbar function in horses.
