Q

Janas VCOT 2021

Effects of Cryotherapy on Temperature Change in Caudal Thigh Muscles of Dogs

A

A single application of a cold pack to the caudal thigh muscles of dogs for 20 minutes resulted in significant temperature reduction at all tissue depths (p < 0.05). This decrease persisted for ∼60 minutes. The presence of hair did not have a significant effect on muscle cooling (p > 0.05).
