Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hello, I have a 1 year old Austrialian Shephard that had bilateral FHO's in Feb 08. We have been working with her for hip extension, strength and improvement of kyphosis which are all tremendously improved but she also has bilateral tarsal hyperextension. I have been doing e-stim on her gastroc muscles to strengthen them for the eccentric work they do maintaining the hock and I recently started dong e-stim on the cranial tibial muscles. I was going to try therabands at a walk to promote hip extension and possibly put the bands low to work the hock. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to improve this condition? Thank you, Cheryl Tano DVM, DVSc, DACVS CCRT candidate Affiliated Veterinary Specialist Maitland, Fl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
