therapeutic exercises Flashcards
what is the trot
2 beat gait, diagonal
weight distribution in the trot
120% front
75% hind
increases as they get faster
what joint has the largest range of motion at the walk
carpus. does 50% of their ROM
more speed =
more demand on joints and more ROM
intense short burst of exercise are anaerobic or aerobic
anaerobic. so short they dont require oxygen
long sustained exercise and increased heartrate is anaerobic or aerobic
aerobic
type 1 muscle fibers
slow aerobic endurance and resistance
type 2 muscle fibers
fast twitch, anaerobic, strength training, fatigue fast bc no oxygen
dog sled racing uses what muscle fibers
slow type 1, aerobic
strength training uses what muscle fibers
fast type 2 anaerobic
when you flex and extend the arm, which muscles are concentric and which are eccentric
concentric shorten
eccentric go with the flow and elongate
what are antigravity muscles
they keep the body upright by working against gravity
lengths of phase 1, 2, 3, 4, of healing
1- 1-5 days
2- 5-21 days
3- 21-60 days
4- 60 and beyond
what are indiciations for exercise therapy
conservative therapy, OA, neuro, post sx, post immobilization
chronic disease is in what phase
3 but can cycle back to 1 if acute lameness from an ongoing issue
when do we not do theraputic exercises
febrile, acute injuries (do massage), cardiac disease (serious), acute thrombosis
what exercises do we recommend for P1 patients
standing. must be able to stand for 2 minutes before we switch to another modality
standing hand shaking is for what level
P3-P4. balance, core, rom, weight bearing inc
what walking exercise would you recommend to P3 and P4
uneven surfaces, dynamic weight shifting, obstacles- weave polls
how do we use balls
P1- assist standing
P2- weight shifting
P4- standing on ball, etc
balance discs are used at what phase
all of them
what ground exercise are for 3 and 4 only
backward walking, incline walking, stairs, sit to stand, wheel barrow
what is the land tredmill good for
hip and stifle conditions because it extends the joint for them
what is the highest water level and how much bouyancy does it give
at the hip level is 38% of body weight
important considerations about water tredmills
height of water matters. dont put surface tension at joints
requires more strength to move through a liquid,
hydrostatic pressure can help with edema
what is the general rule abotu where we should put the water
at or just above the joint of focus.
most change in flexion occurs when at this level
more flexion of the hip joint occurs in what depth of water
any depth
more flexion of the stifle joint occurs at what depth
most flexion when water is at knee or hip height
in the spine, where do we find compensatory pain
TL junction
