Ronnie

Ronnie- Physiotherapy Notes – 18/12/25 Ronnie was seen for his initial appointment. He is active and bright in demeanour. Diet and supplements were discussed and recommended to weight Ronnies food ration to aid weight loss. No access to stairs or jumping up if possible to limit hip extension and risk of falling/losing back foot contact. Gait: Ronnie has a wide hindlimb base stance and movement in walk. There is lumbar kyphosis and cranial loading pattern. No neurological deficits were observed. Offloading the right hindlimb in stance. Initially lack of forelimb protraction. Palpation: Overdevelopment of the omotransversarius in the neck and brachiocephalicus down to forelimbs. Overuse of the pectorals and latissimus dorsi especially on the right forelimb which limits protraction. The back was hypertonic with trigger points on the left side more so than the right. The right hindlimb had hypotrophy of the biceps femoris muscle. Semitendinosus restricted bilaterally. Aim: Improve weight distribution, improve muscle mass on the right hindlimb and improve spinal posture. 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
