Clara

Clara– Exercise Prescription 17/7/24 Clara was seen 17-7-24 for an initial consultation after a suspected strain in the groin. Claras posture showed extended pelvis posture and straight hindlimb conformation with upright feet. In walk there was a noticeable right sided pelvic tuber coxae drop with contact of the left hindlimb. In trot there looked to be slight unbalanced movement of the head but not correlating with any noticeable lameness. The left hindlimb was externally rotated and toe out with an external rotation of the calcaneus on weight bearing. On the lunge the left canter was rushed and unbalanced, to the right it was slightly more improved but broke into trot and during trot transition a right hindlimb lameness was seen for 2-3 strides. Toe drag both hindlimbs on the surface with lack of hindlimb flexion/engagement. Lumbar tension bilaterally, more so on left side. Reactive hamstrings. Saddle slips right, loses contact left side and may require additional flocking/air. Goals: - Engage pelvic tuck - Prevent back pain - Improve front-back balance - Address left hind toe-out/rotation [] [][] [] [] [] []
