|
Demonstrate how to do a test for a ruptured common calcaneal tendon.
|
Extend the stifle, try and flex tarsus. WNL- animal not be able to flex tarsus
Clinician may ask why? what muscles involved |
|
|
Locate patella and demonstrate how you would test for medial patellar luxation
|
Try and push the patella out of place (medially)
Should not be able to do |
|
|
Tibial thrust:
Cranial drawer test |
Femur: thumb behind lat condyle forefinger over the patella. Tibia: thumb behind the head of fibula, forefinger around tibial tuberosity.
|
|
|
Tibial thrust:
Tibial compression |
Dog in lat recumbency, grasp the stifle with forefinger set over patellar lig and use hand to stabilize stifle in Neutral position. With other hand grasp hock and flex while keeping stifle steady. Look feel for cranial trust of tibia relative to femur
|
|
|
Test for ROM in the shoulder for OCD (Osteochondritis Dissecans)
|
Hyperextend the shoulder with a hand stabilizing craniolateral shoulder area.Putting finger or palm over acromion while extending shoulder
|
|
|
Demonstrate exactly how you would be able to palpate most of the shaft of the femur to assess its integrity if you suspect a fracture. What muscular landmarks are you palpating in-between?
|
Between the quadriceps muscle and the cranial aspect of biceps femoris; be able squeeze btwn to palpate shaft of femur along most its length
|
|
|
Find and demonstrate the intertubercular groove of the shoulder. What tendon are you specifically evaluating when you palpate this area?
|
Groove found just medial to the greater tubercle. Biceps Brachii M.
|
|
|
Evaluate carpus as you would during lameness exam. Explain what you are looking for. What C.R.E.P.I means?
|
Flex, extend, and rotate carpus, evaluating for crepitus, ROM, effusion,pain and instability
|
|
|
Show how you would test for ROM in the hip joint
Indicate normal hip extension |
In lateral recumbency, flex and extend the hip joint. Then with dog standing grab both thighs and pull caudally and dorsally extending both hip joints at the same time. Normal young adult dog should extend 180 degrees. Also rotate and abduct hip joint to assess that hip luxation is not a factor
|
|
|
Test for ROM of elbow joint. Explain the bony prominences you should specifically palpate in this area.
|
Flex and extend elbow joint. Extension should go all the way to 180 degrees in a young adult dog. Palpate for medial and lateral epicondyles and the ulna.
|
|
|
A) Palpate and explain the three palpable bony prominences that form a triangle in a normal dog's pelvic region.
B) In dog with hip luxation, what should you notice when you draw the hind limbs under the dog, as to pointing its toes cranially |
A) Wing of the ilium, greater trochanter of the femur and tuber ischii
B) A difference in length of limb on flexion cranially, illustrating luxated leg to be "longer" |
|
|
A) Palpate and explain the three palpable bony prominences that form a triangle in a normal dog's pelvic region.
B) In a dog with a hip luxation, what would you notice different about these three bony prominences and in what direction would the greater trochanter be pulled |
A) Wing of the ilium, greater trochanter of the femur and tuber ischii
B) The triangle would now be a straight line and the greater trochanter would usually be puller craniodorsally in the direction of the gluteal surface of the ilium |
