Overview
This practical one-day hands-on course will focus on linking anatomy and function in the horse, with a focus on the forelimb and its attachment with the thorax. The course has interactive tasks to explain the biomechanics and anatomy. Delegates will be able to perform an ultrasound examination of cadaveric horse limbs, followed by dissection. There are also stations on museum specimens of key areas of the MSK system in order to strengthen the understanding of MSK anatomy, function and disease.
Highlights
- Relate surface anatomy to the underlying features.
- Perform dissection of the equine forelimb and synsarcosis.
- Critically relate MSK anatomy and function to clinical cases and biomechanics.
Topics to be covered
- Anatomy and biomechanics of the equine MSK system: focus on forelimb and related axial system
Learning objectives
- The basic principles of ultrasonography and how to apply these to patient preparation and ultrasound machine use
- Manipulation of ultrasound machine settings to optimise image quality during abdominal ultrasound examinations and echocardiography
- Standard imaging views of the major abdominal organs, including landmarks and normal appearance
- Basic echocardiographic views and an appreciation of the heart chambers and valves evaluated in each of these views
Required delegate attributes
People with horses in a professional capacity, e.g. physiotherapists, veterinary physiotherapists, animal science course educators/students, veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons and osteopaths.
