Özet
'This study determined angular values of the joints of Kangal dogs for the fore- and hindlimbs using the technique of goniometry for comparison between the sexes. Fourteen female and 14 male dogs were used to document the angular range of motion (ROM) of the joints, and 10 female and 8 male dogs were used to measure zero positions. The mean angular values of zero position in the female dogs were 59.2 degrees +/- 4.16 degrees, 32 degrees +/- 2.66 degrees, 20.3 degrees +/- 1.06 degrees, 69.8 degrees +/- 5.20 degrees, 42.6 degrees +/- 2.56 degrees, and 26.1 degrees +/- 3.05 degrees in the shoulder, elbow, carpal, hip, stifle, and tarsal joints, respectively. Likewise, the data in the male dogs were 45.87 degrees +/- 4.22 degrees, 34.12 degrees +/- 3.28 degrees, 18 degrees +/- 0.92 degrees, 62.12 degrees +/- 3.37 degrees, 39.12 degrees +/- 3.76 degrees, and 26.75 degrees +/- 2.7 degrees, respectively. There were no statistical differences between the sexes for the angular values at zero position of all the joints except the shoulder. Similarly, the mean ROM values were 105.69 degrees +/- 3.83 degrees, 123.28 degrees +/- 2.63 degrees, 141.28 degrees +/- 3.95 degrees, 103.28 degrees +/- 3.69 degrees, 118.57 degrees +/- 3.26 degrees, and 108.21 degrees +/- 6.18 degrees in the female, and were 106.07 degrees +/- 4.80 degrees, 121.27 degrees +/- 2.35 degrees, 133 degrees +/- 3.76 degrees, 98.1 degrees +/- 2.47 degrees, 118.23 degrees +/- 3.29 degrees, and 110.92 degrees +/- 4.77 degrees respectively in the male dogs. As far as the gender was concerned, the mean ROM values between the sexes were found to be statistically insignificant. The findings have revealed that the angular values of the joints at natural anatomical posture and their passive ranges of motion are lower than those of the dog breeds examined by the literature, suggesting that Kangal dog does not seem to be in the range for the race dog category.
