    Speakers til følgende sessioner
    • 15:10 - 15:50 Shoeing concepts for tendon and suspensory ligament injuries. Foredragssponsor Boehringer Ingelheim
      Disorders affecting tendons and ligaments of the equine distal limb occur frequently in the equine practice. Different shoeing concepts develop to support healing and orthopaedic treatment of lesions of the digital flexor tendons and the suspensory ligament. Aim of the lecture is to give scientific insight about the use and side effects of different shoeing concepts to relieve the digital flexor tendons and the suspensory ligament of the horse.
       
      16:00 - 16:40 Adaption of therapeutic shoeing on the rehabilitation status of the orthopedic patient. Foredragssponsor Boehringer Ingelheim
      Different horseshoe modifications are frequently used to support healing of disorders of tendon, ligament, and joint disorders at the distal limb. However, often it is questionable which horseshoe modification is appropriate for a specific disorder and how to adapt the shoeing concept during the progress of rehabilitation. The aim of the lecture is to describe a guideline how to adapt therapeutic shoeing on the rehabilitation status of the orthopaedic patient. 
       
    • 15:10 - 15:50 The meaning of the shoulder sling, core stability and training for preventing orthopedic injuries and rehabilitation
      The equine “thoracic sling” connects the forelimb to the trunk and support and stabilize the body mass in stance and locomotion. Since the musculotendinous unit of the shoulder is the most important system for shock absorption and energy storage during stance phase, its optimal function is essential to protect tendons, ligaments and joints of the distal forelimb against wear and tear. For increasing gait quality, preventing injuries and degenerative diseases of the distal limb or avoiding recurrence of disorders, the musculotendinous system of the “thoracic sling” must be strengthened.
       
      16:00 - 16:40 The equine locomotion and the influence of trimming and shoeing
      The aim of the lecture is to give scientific insights on how trimming and shoeing influence timing and spatial parameters of hoof landing, stance phase, breakover and swing phase. Results of current research are explained in the context of handcraft and practical questions. Based on facts of motion physiology the effects and limitations of shoeing on the equine gait pattern are described.
