This change has occurred within the past 4/5 months. Chance did go for regular hydrotherapy which was maintaining him but he fatigued very quickly and owner circumstances changed. I have suggested water treadmill may be more appropriate for gait re-education, yet this may alter back to pool as Chances’ hip ROM is significantly reduced and may impact his ability to fully function on the treadmill. Gait: Chance regularly uses a cart which we have adapted to support him better at the front and also to allow the movement he does still have to continue when travelling in the cart. He has a cranial loading pattern and his LH is usually the stronger limb. Reduced Protraction and reduced Hip extension with crepitus and hard end feel. Objective: Epaxial pain, spasming and trigger points bilaterally. Reduced ROM right carpal, slight crepitus, Bilateral shoulder hypertrophy and hypertonicity, cervical hypertonicity.Prominant lumbar DSPs, biceps brachii and pectorals hypertonic, biceps brachii, semimembranosus and semitendinosus hypotrophic and hypotonic. Range of motion: Good spinal ROM and lateral movement, tarsal hyperextension, reduced hip adduction and extension. Action: Current action has surrounded wound repair so we can refer Chance to hydrotherapy once again. LASER, massage, ROM, rhythmical stabilisations.
