A

SCP: Rib at sternocostal border

CP: protected pisiform of INFERIOR hand

ST: on the side of the subluxation facing the horse on an elevated surface

STAB: inherent in the standing horse

LOC: PA with a slight downward rocking motion of the fingers

17
Q

Sternal Technique

A

SCP: sternum

CP: palmer surface of open hands. If subluxation covers entire sternum spread hands. If localized place one hand on top of the other

ST: opposite the laterality with adjusters knee bent under the horse

STAB: adjuster contacts the barrel of the horse iwth their shoulders and chest - knee under barrel of horse and chest stabilizing

LOC: LM pull

18
Q

Manubrium Technique

A

SCP: manubrium

CP: heel of SUPERIOR hand

ST: In front of and on the side of the laterality

STAB: inherent in the standing horse

LOC: LM

19
Q

Costochondral Technique

A

SCP: costochondral junction

CP: guarded thumb of the sUPERIOR hand

ST: facing the same way as the horse on the side of subluxation

STAB: inherent in the standing horse

LOC: LM perpendicular to the costochondral junction

20
Q

evading contact when grooming the back

pinning ears, biting, or side-stepping away from you when being saddled

sinking, bucking or rearing when you get in the saddle

A

thoracolumbar

21
Q

tail swishing or wringing the tail when under saddle

restricting their rolling and laying down, only rolling half way over or rolling more violently than previously

A

thoracolumbar issues

22
Q

regularly rearranging stall bedding so they can stand in a more comfortable position

becoming difficult to catch

resistance to backing up

A

thoracolumbar issues

23
Q

resenting lateral work often in one direction

acting stiff behind, seeming reluctant to fully engage hindquarters

becoming less responsive to rider aids as the riding session progresses - ribs

A

thoracolumbar issues

24
Q

lack of healthy pain free pendular swing in the back and symmetry through all stride phases with movement when riding - holding the back rigid instead (like a 55 gallon drum with legs)

back rigidly or uneven movement when on a longe line

A

thoracoolumbar issues

25
Q

fidgety, tense and unable to concentrate

low heels and/or long toes behind can alter the locomotor pattern overstressing the back muscles

A

thoracolumbar issues

26
Q

inadequate traction behind encourages slipping in deep or click ground risking strained back muscles

mouth pain from an inappropriate bit, insensitive hands, or dental problems can cause the horse to evade mouth discomfort by elevating the head and hollowing the back

A

thoracolumbar issues

27
Q

a roping horse may begin to stop too soon or too late to avoid sudden jarring of the saddle - not wanting to work the rope

a reigning horse may be reluctant to sit down in the slides due to pain when rounding the back

A

thoracolumbar issues

28
Q

barrel riders

A

go in - shoulder lower cervical

not wanting to bend aroudn back - ribs and thoracics

leaves wide - pushing off with back end - not able to get butt to ground - sacropelvic

29
Q

a sore-backed jumper may produce less thrust, jump with a fixed hollow back, rush to or away from fences, or refuse to jump combinations

a trail horse may rush up and down hills or try to go downhill sideways to escape back pain

A

thoracolumbar issues

30
Q

a barrel horse may go wide to the barrel or go wide behind it not wanting to bend around it (squaring off the turn) and not want to stay in the pattern

A

mid-thoracic subluxations

31
Q

stabbing gait

horse won’t bend aroudn the rider’s leg on that side

A

upper thoracic subluxations often accompanied with C7 subluxations

32
Q

subluxations in the area of the thoracolumbar junction will often result in

A

an overall rear-end weakness
