Q

Anterior Carpal Technique

A

SCP - Anterior surface of the individual carpal bone, one at a time

CP - Both thumbs, one on top of the other

ST - in front of and facing the horse. Lift the lower leg and place it between the knees of the adjustor. Knee and shoulder of the horse should be extended

STAB - inherent in standing horse

LOC - AP relative to the knee joint with slight ML for radial carpal and 2nd carpal, slight LM for ulnar carpal and 4th carpal

alternate anterior carpal use inferior hand to hold and superior guarded thumb - if they want their foot let them have it and then try again

16
Q

jumpers or horses with lots of adhesions in knee

A

Carpal Traction

17
Q

Accessory Carpal Technique

A

SCP - accessory carpal bone

CP - lift leg by grasping below the fetlock and flex theknee. Motion palpate to determine the presence andnn direction of the subluxation. The adjsuting arm is the OUTSIDE (LATERAL) arm

ST - In front of and facing the horse on side to be adjusted

STAB - lift leg by distal ulna

LOC - varies, thrust in direction to restore motion

can have loud audible

18
Q

The fetlock and pastern move in

A

flexion
extension
rotation
lateral flexion

19
Q

Adjusting techniques for fetlock and pastern are more general in nature and aimed at

A

restoring motion in any or all limited directions

20
Q

Fetlock Technique

A

SCP - First phalange

CP - grasp phalange below fetlock, traction the joint if possible

ST - stand beside or behind flexed leg facing the same way as the horse

STAB - hand on the distal metacarpal on opposite side of the thrust

LOC - LM or ML

21
Q

Sesamoid Technique

A

SCP - sesamoid bone

CP - use thumbs to assess motion in sesamoid bones

ST - beside or behind flexed leg facing the same way as the horse (same as fetlock)

STAB - holding the distal metacarpal

LOC - varies. If subluxatin is found, use one hand to stabilize and thrust in an LOC to correct the lack of motion

22
Q

Non weight bearing and profound tenderness in sesamoid can be indicative of

A

sesamoid fracture

23
Q

Pastern Technique

A

SCP - proximal second phalange

CP - Grasp 2nd phalange in one hand

ST - beside or behind flexed leg facing the same way as the horse (same as fetlock)

STAB - maintained by 1st phalange in other hand

LOC - rotation medial, lateral, or in a direction to correct for lack of motion

24
Q

Coxafemoral (HIP) joint primary movements

A

rotation as the leg flexes and extends

gliding as the leg internally and externally rotates

25
Q

as the leg internally rotates, the greater trochanter moves

A

cranially

26
Q

as the leg externally rotates, the greater trochanter moves

A

caudally

27
Q

Superior Internally Rotated Femoral Head Technique

A

SCP - greater trochanter of the femur

CP - thenar contact on the SUPERIOR hand

ST - beside the horse on the side of subluxation

STAB - flex the hip using the inferior hand, use inferior leg for leverage if necessary

DO NOT JAME THE FEMUR INTO THE ACETABULUM

28
Q

Inferior Externally Rotated Femoral Head Technique

A

SCP - greater trochanter of the femur

CP - thenar contact on the INFERIOR hand

The hock consists of

A

3 rows of tarsal bones

31
Q

In extension - the tarsals

A

lock as part of the stay apparatus

CP - pisiform of the OUTSIDE hand

ST - beside and facing opposite direciton of horse with the involved leg lifted and held in a farrier stance
