Practical management of limb loading in equine tendon injury rehabilitation with Emma Mathlin & Kristin Dean Tendon injuries are common in equine athletes, often requiring extensive rehabilitation with a high risk of reinjury. This presentation explores the impact of load on the equine lower limb, the tendon’s response to exercise, and the mechanisms of injury. We will compare current rehabilitation approaches in both humans and horses, challenging traditional walking programs commonly used in equine tendon rehab. A case study will illustrate an alternative method for prescribing load in an equine tendon rehabilitation program.
Centaur Biomechanics was found in 2006 by Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire who graduated from Warwickshire College in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine and Human Sports Science and now holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russell’s thesis was titled ‘The Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horses’.
