1 Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Plans: How veterinary nurses can implement them in practice Below are example rehabilitation plans for the following four conditions: Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture (TPLO surgery) Fragmented Medial Coronoid Process (post arthroscopy) Hip Dysplasia- conservative management Fibro Cartilaginous Embolism Please note that the rehabilitation plans are examples only. Each patient should be treated as an individual and rehabilitation plans tailored accordingly. Physiotherapy techniques and rehabilitation plans should only be used under veterinary referral/ supervision. Each example case study includes goals and outcome measures. Remember to use a consistent pain and lameness score (orthopaedic cases) along with other objective measurements. Owner feedback is also beneficial to gauge any changes in behaviour or activity which may be a result of the rehabilitation plan. Condition: CrCL rupture (TPLO) History: 3y/o female neutered west highland terrier with traumatic cranial cruciate ligament rupture. TPLO surgery performed to stabilise stifle. Early Phase (0-3 wks approx.) Promote early weight bearing and limb use. Maintain/ improve stifle joint ROM Provide pain relief and reduce inflammation Pain score (0-4) Stifle goniometry Lameness score (0-5) Weight earing measurements on pressure mat Technique Repetitions Frequency per day Gentle PROM of stifle within comfortable 5-10 TID range Ensure full ROM hip& tarsus LASER therapy- incision wound for 0-7 days then acute stifle settings 1 SID or at physio sessions
2 Slow lead walking on flat, firm surface using 1x 5 mins abdominal sling for support if required. Avoid stairs, high impact activities, slippy floors, playing with other dogs / toys. Crate or small room rest. Mid Phase (4-6 wks approx.) Encourage Limb Use Promote active stifle flexion/ extension Build Muscle Mass Pain score (0-4) Weight bearing measurements on pressure mat Stifle goniometry Gait / lameness score (0-5) QID LASER therapy- acute/ chronic stifle settings 1 Weekly at sessions Gentle PROM of stifle within comfortable 5-10 TID range Gentle quadriceps/ hamstrings stretch 1 x 10-15s TID hold Slow lead walking 1x 5-10 mins QID Avoid high impact activities, slippy floors, playing with other dogs / toys Sit-to-stand exercises 4 SID Gentle inclines 1 SID on lead walks Cavaletti poles at carpal height 4 walks over SID or at physio sessions Hydrotherapy in UWT water to mid femur height. 4x 30s-1min progressing by 1 min total each week. 1x weekly at sessions Late Phase (6-12 wks approx.)

Condition: Hip Dysplasia (conservative management) History: 4 year old female neutered Border Collie with bilateral hip dysplasia presenting with short pelvic limb stride lengths and pain on hip extension and abduction around ½ range. Compensatory muscular tension present in thoracolumbar epaxial muscles. Currently exercised 2x 20 minutes on lead per day. Early Phase (0-4wks approx.) Reduce Pain Improve HL muscle mass Improve function / overall gait Pain score (0-4) Weight bearing measurements Gait / lameness score (0-5)
6 Technique Repetitions Frequency per day Effleurage and compression massage 1x 5 minutes SID applied to T-Lx epaxials LASER therapy- chronic hip settings 1 at physio sessions Hip extension and abduction stretches 1x 15s hold SID or at sessions (quadriceps/ ilipsoas) Lead walks on soft ground mins QID Gentle inclines 1 SID-BID on walks Weave poles x 3, 1 body length apart 4 BID Sit- to- stand exercises 4 BID Hydrotherapy in the UWT 4x 1 min progressing to 4x 2min At sessions Mid Phase (4-8 wks approx.)

10 Inclines 1 BID on walks Hydrotherapy in UWT- water to trunk 4 x 1-2min 2x weekly at sessions Practical considerations: A full body supportive harness will be required in the early-mid phase Thin rubber booties (or similar) should be used when exercising outside until paw placement is achieved to prevent sores (Do not leave on for more than 20 mins). The patient should have comfortable bedding and be turned regularly. Food and water may need to be offered until the patient is ambulatory. During late phase pick 3-4 exercises per day and rotate. Cage rest during first 4-6 weeks recovery dependant on extent of condition. Provide non slip floors/ matting to prevent injury. No rough play with other dogs. Lift in / out car and avoid steps in early stages of recovery. Offer treats/ toys to stimulate patient from affected side.
