Abstract
The effect of kinesiotape on range of motion in flexion–extension of the thoracolumbar back in the trotting horse
Highlights
In equine species, meniscal tears are frequent as soft tissue injuries in the stifle and can be responsible for the premature ending of careers of sporting horses due notably to the concomitant presence of degenerative articular disease [1, 2]
Determine if benefits exist with implementing a Functional neurorehabilitation protocol (FNRP) into treatment for dogs with peripheral vestibular syndrome (PVS); if their progress is remarkable when compared to those whose treatment plan did not include a FNRP; and compare the difference between a protocol with a treatment plan that did not include a FNRP, but includes a treatment with corticosteroids, and to verify if age, weight and etiology influence final results
One of the clinical findings associated with myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) includes a local twitch response (LTR), a spinal cord reflex characterized by an involuntary contraction of the taut band
Summary
Meniscal tears are frequent as soft tissue injuries in the stifle and can be responsible for the premature ending of careers of sporting horses due notably to the concomitant presence of degenerative articular disease [1, 2]. According to answers of pre- and post-treatment questionnaire administered to the owner, this patient elevated his life quality due to an improvement of his musculoskeletal condition (resolution of paraspinal muscle contracture and modification of thigh diameter from 21 cm left/25 cm right to bilateral 23 cm), Materials and methods: Two and four day-old male Warmblood foals, patients at the Helsinki University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, participated in the study for 3 and 12 days, respectively. Objectives: To be an informative study without data collection and show the type of physical therapy we have been performing in paraplegic deep pain negative patients to help the development of a more controlled automatic gait or spinal walking. The effects on plasma cortisol levels was examined and the analgesic effect was measured with a thermal threshold testing system adopted for horses was used after treatment with methadone IV or methadone IV in combination with detomidine IM. Possible recommendations from this graduated exercise test suggest an increase in 10 heartbeats per minute, or a fivefold increase in RR for conditioning stress
