Recognizing and Understanding the Role of Pain in Structural and Functional Asymmetries
When client horses present with lameness or other issues accompanied by clinical signs of pain, this adds to the challenges faced by hoof care practitioners.
Join Dr. Kevin Haussler to learn about the role of pain in creating structural and functional asymmetries, with a focus on understanding pain mechanisms and laterality, and learning to distinguish between lameness and neurologic conditions.
In this webinar, Dr. Haussler will:
- Explore pain mechanisms and adaptive/maladaptive responses
- Discuss the impact of pain on equine movement and posture
- Explain the concept of laterality and how pain influences limb preference and movement patterns
- Discuss the interactions between lameness and neurologic conditions
- Review rehabilitation strategies for managing pain and restoring functional symmetry
