Goniometry has been used in canine orthopedics to assess clinics, surgical and/or therapy physical treatment efficacy involving shoulder, elbow, carpal, hip, stifle and tarsal. However, in dogs this procedure is few studied and validated to scientifics researches. The purposes of this experiment were to estimate the maximum flexion and extension angle of shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle and tarsus and carpus adduction and abduction in dogs with breed Rottweiler, compare goniometric joint measurements obtained from no sedated, sedated and measurements made in radiography, and compare this goniometric joint measurements between males and females. The goniometric assess was accomplished by universal plastic goniometer, in 11 dogs Rottweilers, clinically healthy, in Goiânia-GO. One examiner accomplished assess, tree times, in each joint position (flexion and extension of shoulder, elbow, carpal, hip, stifle and tarsal, as well as carpus adduction and abduction) before and after dogs sedation. Also, accomplished measurements from radiographs taken of these joint positions while dogs were sedated, totalizing 1386 measurements. To compare the joint goniometric measure mean of animal nonsedated, sedated and radiographs was used the Friedman test. To compare the goniometry between males and females was used the t test. The differences were considered significant at values of p 0,05, for all comparisons. The results indicated that joint measurements did not differ significantly when compared goniometric measurements in nonsedated dogs, sedated and radiographs, for all joints positions evaluated, exception for shoulder and stifle extension and carpus adduction. Also, no significant differences were identified between the sexes, exclusion the shoulder extension in sedated dogs and carpus abduction in radiographs taken.
