Helping you to apply many different diagnostic tools, boldDiagnosis and Management of Lameness in the Horse, 2nd Edition/bold explores both traditional treatments and alternative therapies for conditions that can cause gait abnormalities in horses. Written by an international team of authors led by Mike Ross and Sue Dyson, this resource describes equine sporting activities and specific lameness conditions in major sport horse types. It emphasizes accurate and systematic observation and clinical examination, with in-depth descriptions of diagnostic analgesia, radiography, ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, thermography, and surgical endoscopy. Broader in scope than any other book of its kind, this edition includes a companion website with 47 narrated video clips demonstrating common forelimb and hindlimb lameness as well as gait abnormalities.bulletlistbr/bulletboldCutting-edge information on diagnostic application for computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging/bold includes the most comprehensive section available on MRI in the live horse./bulletbr/bulletboldCoverage of traditional treatment modalities/bold also includes many aspects of alternative therapy, with a practical and realistic perspective on prognosis./bulletbr/bulletboldAn examination of the various types of horses used in sports /bolddescribes the lameness conditions to which each horse type is particularly prone, as well as differences in prognosis./bulletbr/bulletboldGuidelines on how to proceed when a diagnosis cannot easily be reached/bold help you manage conditions when faced with the limitations of current diagnostic capabilities./bulletbr/bulletboldClinical examination and diagnostic analgesia/bold are given a special emphasis./bulletbr/bulletboldPractical, hands-on information/bold covers a wide range of horse types from around the world./bulletbr/bulletboldA global perspective/bold is provided by a team of international authors, editors, and contributors. /bulletbr/bulletboldA full-color insert/bold shows thermography images./bulletbr//bulletlistbulletlistbr/bulletboldUpdated chapters/bold include the most current information on topics such as MRI, foot pain, stem cell therapy, and shock wave treatment./bulletbr/bulletboldTwo new chapters/bold include The Biomechanics of the Equine Limb and its Effect on Lameness and Clinical Use of Stem Cells, Marrow Components, and Other Growth Factors.
