PHYSIOTHERAPY IN VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGYDrKanteshkumarMJ
• The growing interest in physiotherapy and rehabilitation within small animal practice presents a few challenges for the veterinary surgeon.
• There is an expectation among the public, and within veterinary law, that veterinary practitioners should be the experts on physiotherapy and rehabilitation for animals, but current training does not prepare them for this role.
• While the non-specialist vet and nurse can easily and effectively provide simple physiotherapy modalities with just basic training, qualified veterinary physiotherapists can offer a new dimension to the small animal practice and bring additional expertise and skills to the veterinary team.
• The integration of physiotherapy in practice can help to improve outcomes and promote a positive, caring image to clients.
• Hopefully, when the established post-graduate programs of study begin to produce quality research the scientific evidence base for animal physiotherapy will broaden and strengthen, ultimately enhancing the quality of overall veterinary care.
• Physiotherapy has immense potential as an alternative treatment. It is cost effective and nowadays, this important branch is also rapidly becoming recognized tool in the prevention, cure and rehabilitation of many equine, canine and feline injuries.
this ppt material is about physiotherapy techniques in animal, this is all about how we can aid our pets with physiotherapy treatment for their wealth.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. Short duration interrupted DC with pulse
duration of 0.02-1ms and frequency of 50Hz.
Modifications-
These currents are always surged for treatment
purposes to produce a near normal tetanic-like
contraction & relaxation of muscle
Current is surged at variable controlled speed
ranging from 30 to 40 surges/min with varying rest
period
7. 1. Stimulation of Sensory Nerves
Mild prickling sensation is experienced
It is not very marked because of short
duration
Causes reflex vasodilatation of superficial
blood vessels leading to slight erythema
Vasodilatation is confined to superficial
tissues so is of little practical importance
8. It occurs if the current is of sufficient
intensity, causing contraction of muscles
which they supply
The contraction is tetanic in type as stimulus is
repeated 50 times or more per sec
If this type of contraction is maintained for
more than a short period of time, muscle
fatigue occurs. So, the current is commonly
surged to allow for muscle relaxation
9. When muscle contracts, changes taking
place within a muscle are increase in
metabolism, increase in demand for
oxygen and nutrients and increase output
of waste products
As muscle contracts & relax, exert a
pumping action on veins and lymphatic
vessels thus, increases the venous and
lymphatic return
10. The current required to produce
a contraction of denervated
muscle with an impulse lasting
for 1 ms is usually too great to
be tolerable for treatment
purposes
11. It occurs due to alteration of the
permeability of the cell membrane,
leading to acceleration of fluid
movement in the swollen tissue and
arterial dilatation.
Moreover, it leads to increase
metabolism and get rid of waste
products.
12. The ions move one way during one phase of
the current and in the reverse direction
during the other phase of the current if it is
alternating.
If the two phases are equal, the chemicals
formed during one phase are neutralized
during the next phase but if phases are not
similar there are chemical changes which
can cause electrolyte burn.
In faradic current, chemical formations are
not great enough to give rise to a serious
danger of burns because of the short
duration of impulses.
13. Increases joint mobility
Increases lymphatic activity
Helps in healing
Analgesic effect
Does not produce chemical burn until
high intensity is used
Causes vasodilatation, in turn increases
circulation
15. 1. Facilitation of muscle
contraction inhibited by pain:
Stimulation must be stopped when
good voluntary contraction is
obtained
16. Muscle contraction is needed to restore
the sense of movement in cases of
prolonged disuse or incorrect use; and
in muscle transplantation.
The brain appreciates movement not
muscle actions, so the current should be
applied to cause the movement that the
patient is unable to perform voluntarily.
17. After tendon transplantation, muscle may
be required to perform a different action
from that previously carried out.
With stimulation by faradic current, the
patient must concentrate with the new
action and assist with voluntary
contraction.
18. When a nerve is severed, degeneration of the
axons takes place after several days.
So, for a few days after the injury, the muscle
contraction may be obtained with faradic
current.
It should be used to exercise the muscle as long
as a good response is present but must be
replaced by modified direct current as soon as
the response begins to weaken.
19. In oedema and gravitational ulcers,
the venous and lymphatic return
should be encouraged by the
pumping action of the alternate
muscle contraction and relaxation.
20. After effusion, adhesions are liable
to form, which can be prevented by
keeping structures moving with
respect to each other.
Formed adhesions may be stretched
and loosened by muscle contraction.
21. After trauma, there is inhibition
of muscle contraction, leading to
muscle atrophy.
22. 1.Skin lesions:
Any large or open wound is contraindicated
for direct application of faradic current as it
can cause discomfort and pain
2.Infections:
Any infection must not be treated with low
frequency current because of danger of
spreading or exacerbating the condition
23. 3.Inflammation:
Any acute inflammation with an
underline danger of infection or with
thrombosis as a complication is
contraindicated.
4.Thrombosis:
Patients with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
or atherosclerosis must not be treated
with faradic current as it will exacerbate
the condition
24. 5.Marked loss of sensation:
If there is loss of sensation in the
limb being treated, low frequency
current must not be given as it can
cause chemical burn
6.Tuberculosis or Cancer:
The condition can exacerbate by this
current
25. 7. Cardiac Pacemaker:
It is not advisable to apply low
frequency current in the area of thorax,
abdomen, or shoulder as it may interfere
with functions of pacemaker
8.Skin Diseases:
If there is any skin diseases like eczema,
fungus growth or similar conditions, low
frequency current is contraindicated as
it can be spread to same person or to
other
26. 9.Unreliable patient:
Patients who cannot cooperate or
understand the dangers of treatment.
Eg :-very old or infant patients
10. Superficial metal:
Metals in the pathway of the current
will concentrate it and may cause a
burn.
27. Equipments Required:
• Low frequency electronic stimulator
• 2 leads [1cathode & 1anode]
• 2 suitably sized carbon/metal electrode
• Aqueous gel, a sand bag
• Bandage, straps, micropore or adhesive tape
• 2 small basin of warm water
• Towels, soap
• Insulating cream [petroleum jelly, vaseline]
28. Position the patient comfortably in a relaxed
position
Support the muscle to be stimulated in pain-
free position with area to be treated
adequately exposed
In case of supine lying knees should be flexed
by keeping the pillows or towels under the knee
Examine the area to be treated; note any cuts,
skin lesions and inflammations. Check that
there is no contraindication to treatment like
sensation
29. Equipment should be tested prior to treatment by
placing the electrodes over the palm & increasing
intensity to check whether equipment is working
properly.
Explain the procedure properly to patient that there
will be pricking sensation on area to be treated &
there is no need to panic & if intensity will be high
he/she must tell.
Clean the electrodes with soap water to avoid any
chemical on electrode & also clean the area to be
treated to remove any grease on skin which helps in
better penetration by reducing the skin impedence.
30. Place the active electrode on muscle &
inactive electrode on nerve trunk if for
group action. If it is for stimulating
individual muscle we will use pen
electrode.
Connect the electrodes properly to skin with
the help of tape/strap.
Explain the patient that during the
procedure he/ she should not move the limb
suddenly or do not touch the equipment
31. Motor point stimulation
Group muscle stimulation
32. Stimulation which makes all the muscles
of a group work together
Satisfactory method of re-educating the
action of muscles which normally work
as a group, such as quadriceps, the small
muscles of the foot, and muscles of
pelvic floor
33. This method has an advantage that each muscle
performs its own individual action & that the
optimum contraction of each can be obtained
Selected when training a new muscle action or
when isolation of one muscle is indicated; e.g.
vastus medialis may be stimulated to overcome
a quadriceps lag, or abductor hallucis for
muscle weakness
