Popis: | SummaryScintigraphy was performed in the vascular, soft tissue and bone phase to demonstrate increased blood flow resulting from the local application of a permanent magnetic pad on the equine third metacarpus using a crossover trial in eight horses.The results of the vascular phase showed a highly significant (p This study shows that the Equinepad® applied to the third metacarpus of the horse increases the circulation and metabolic activity of the soft tissue and bone. These effects show some variability in degree and occur in the majority of limbs tested.Scintigraphy was performed in the vascular, soft tissue and bone phase using a cross over trial to demonstrate increased blood flow and metabolic activity as a result of the local application of a permanent magnetic pad on the equine metacarpus. A highly significant increase was evident in the three phases. |
