Don’t miss our next event with Dr. Jenny Hagen- Veterinarian& Farrier 👩🏻⚕️🧲.
Our Next Congress focuses on two major aspects, connecting the latest scientific insights to everyday work with equine patients.
On the first day, the focus is on the motion physiology of horses. The neuroanatomical mechanisms of motor learning and the development of motor memory will be discussed in relation to individual motion patterns and training. Additionally, the correlation between motion quality and the function of the neck, back, and core stability of the trunk and pelvis will be explained. The aim is to provide a basis for the functional assessment of horses with poor performance or a lack of motion quality. This topic will be discussed further during the practical session through the evaluation of several horses. Finally, the effect of trimming and shoeing on performance and motion quality will be explained to facilitate professional communication and interdisciplinary collaboration with farriers.
On the second day, the seminar will focus on the function of structures related to the distal limb and the functional rehabilitation of orthopaedic patients. The main focus will be on the causes and mechanical consequences of tendon injuries in horses. The goal is to explain the stages of healing and use this knowledge to provide insight into creating a successful rehabilitation plan. Additionally, the indications for, use of, and side effects of orthopaedic shoe modifications will be described to provide the basis for optimally applying therapeutic shoes to each individual patient. During the practical session, this information will be used to discuss the management of patients with various orthopaedic conditions. ❤️
