Dr. Claudia Fraschetto provides groundbreaking insight on how water treadmills can revolutionize your horse's regimen. Prepare to have your understanding of equine biomechanics enhanced as Claudia walks us through the interplay between water depth, treadmill speed, and their collective impact on a horse's musculoskeletal system. We traverse the complexities of trunk vertical displacement during trotting and why it's critical for designing tailored rehabilitation and conditioning programs.
Join us for a thought-provoking session that merges science with practical applications in the equine world. Claudia, with her surgical precision and passion for equine welfare, shares her expertise on the multifaceted benefits of water treadmill use—from mitigating limb impact to augmenting neuromuscular function. Our discussion extends beyond theory into the realm of clinical practice, where Claudia guides us through the nuances of individualized water treadmill protocols, general indications, and contraindications, ensuring veterinarians and horse trainers are equipped with the necessary tools to elevate the health and performance of their equine athletes.
