This practical one–day hands-on course will focus on linking anatomy, biochemistry and exercise physiology with clinical conditions in greyhounds. The use of injury data analyses to inform best practice is also described. The course has interactive tasks to explain the biomechanics and anatomy. Delegates will also be able to view and handle museum specimens of key areas of the MSK system in order to strengthen their understanding of MSK function and disease.
Topics to be covered include:
Injuries of the racing greyhounds
Anatomy and biomechanics of the MSK system.
Exercise physiology.
Data analysis and evidence-based practice.
Clinical examinations and exercise preparations
Who is it for?
People with working/sport dog affiliations (for example, greyhound trainers, dog agility members), physiotherapists, veterinary physiotherapists, animal science course educators/students, veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons, osteopaths.
