The Veterinary Rehabilitation Podcast

In this week's episode Ben Blecha and Ané discuss achilles tendinopathies and the role that bracing can play in the recovery from this injury. Ben shares the mechanics of the achilles brace, discussing how the lever arms and forces are applied with a brace, and what we need to look at to have a secure brace that does not slip down the hock. He discusses the role of the foot piece and how hero braces create an articulation with graduated increases in range of motion. We discuss the angle at which the hock is cast or braced during the initial healing phases of the injury, and much more.
