Wilson

Wilson- Physiotherapy Notes – 8/4/25 Wilson was seen for his initial appointment. He is active and bright in demeanour. His weight is very good and diet controls are in place. Area he is allowed access too is restricted and is majority non-slip. No access to stairs or jumping up if possible to limit spinal extension and risk of falling/losing back foot contact. Wilson has been on crate rest and is looking to begin some minor activities to maintain muscle mass and improve mobility. Gait: Wilson has a good rhythmical gait with good foot placement and ground clearance in all four limbs. The right hindlimb on appearance is slightly more defined and placed medial with the left hind placed laterally in walk. Slight carpal deviation in both forelimbs. Posture: Cranially loading (placing more weight on the forelimbs) and more onto the right hindlimb too. No neurological deficit obvius but there is also a .5 second delay in the left hindlimb replacement. Palpation: Left hindlimb hypotonic and hypotrophic Right hindlimb has good range of motion, mild stifle crepitus. Spinal epaxials tender right thoracolumbar region showing trigger points, resolved with manual therapy and Laser. Caudal boarder latissimus dorsi reactive, spasming and overworked due to cranial loading. Mild crepitus left tarsus. Aim: Improve overall balance, muscle strength and protect the opposing limbs. horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162
