| Summary |
Best Practice in Lameness Diagnostics This guide to systematic, step by step lameness examination is based on the latest findings in locomotion research. Each step of the examination is clearly described and informatively illustrated. Video demonstrations of techniques used throughout the examination process are also provided. An introductory chapter delivers the key to a functional understanding of canine anatomy. Anatomical structures relevant to each stage of the examination are depicted in detailed graphics to faciliate elucidation of findings derived from palpation. The most common observ |
