(Vaccine Research and Developments) 1st Edition
by Carla M. Lusi (Author), Helen M.S. Davies (Author)
Lusi and Davies have provided an excellent reference resource for
students and graduates alike. The number of well-defined, relevant and
clear images allow quick understanding for anyone interested in the
fascial anatomy of the horse. This small book is perfect to have in your
bag, allowing the student or clinician to find all the information they
need on-site. - Sophie Neasham, final year veterinary student, University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice, Slovakia
Key features:
-
The first book in equine anatomy to illustrate the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of the equine forelimb.
-
Clear,
high-quality images (with reference images included on each page) help
readers identify aspects of the limb photographed.
-
A brief
introduction to the forelimb musculoskeletal anatomy (with images)
helps readers familiarize themselves with muscles and bones portrayed in
photographs.
-
Focused discussions highlight the practical applicability of the fascial connections illustrated.
-
Accompanying video clips demonstrate connectivity of the fascial system particular lines of tension.
The
first of its kind in equine anatomy, this clear, concise anatomical
guide illustrates the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of
the equine forelimb. Based on dissections of fresh equine cadaver limbs,
it provides a visual map for equine physical therapists, veterinarians
and horse riders, helping them to understand how pathologies, injuries,
or movement abnormalities of the equine forelimb arise and/or progress
from one area of the limb to another.
The fascial system
is one of the primary systems acted upon by equine physiotherapists and
is of increasing interest to horse riders looking to achieve structural
integration and balanced movement in their horse. With this in mind,
key points in each chapter highlight everyday situations in which
knowledge of the fascial system may assist in understanding horse
movement and injury.
This practically applicable anatomical atlas is the ideal reference for horse owners, body workers and veterinarians alike.
