Neonatal motor development and physiotherapy with Dr Heli Hyytiäinen, BSc (PT), MSc (Vet Physio), PhD This webinar will offer information regarding the early motor development of healthy foals, with emphasis on their first 24 hours. Various observable factors of motor development, their timings and sequences are discussed. Understanding these milestones of normal development will help to detect the abnormal or delayed development and set expectations for rehabilitation of ailing foals. In addition, physiotherapy process and solutions in neonatal cases where either neurological or orthopaedical pathology affects the foal’s motor development, are presented.
