Rehabilitation Flashcards
what measures limb circumference/ muscle mass
gulick
what device measures passive range of motion
goniometer
what measures active range of motion
kinematic gait analysis
what measures kinetic gait
ground reaction forces
What coat color results in the least amount of laser penetration?
black
should you do cryo or laser first for tendon healing in horses
cryo first
then
laser healing
What does water height at the carpus/tarsus do
1) Maximize carpal / tarsal flexion
2) Proprioceptive re-training
What does water heigh at the elbow / stifle do
1) Maximize resistance
2) Minimize buoyancy
3) Strength and endurance training
What does water height at the shoulder / hip do
1) Maximize buoyancy
2) Minimize joint load
3) Early weight bearing
4) Pain relief
is underwater treadmill or swimming better for hindlimb range of motion
under water treatmill
is underwater treadmill or swimming better for forelimb range of motion
swimming
What areas are laser therapy employed
1) Wound and tissue healing: no effect on cellular proliferation of fibroblasts, lowered fibroblast proliferation
2) Relieve edema and inflammation:
3) Neuroligcal disorders and pain??
Really inconclusive
What are two criteria for advancement beyond the acute phase of rehabilitation to the proliferative rehabilitation phase? in the horse
Pain control and initiation of tissue healing
Application of tactile stimulation to the limb of a horse will have the following effect(s). Please choose all the apply
Improves range of motion
Enhances neuromotor control
Increases muscle activation
Induces habituation
The application of Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) modulates pain through what two proposed mechanisms?
Endogenous release of opioids and “gate control” theory
