The effect of manual chiropractic (McTimoney) treatment on pressure measurements beneath the saddle.

in horse-rider interactions, treatment effects
Back problems in horses are recognised as an important factor in performance impairment.
Saddle fit is considered a factor in the pathogenesis of back problems.
Positive evidence that chiropractic treatment affects the horse’s back and reduces mean pressure beneath the saddle.
The effects of chiropractic treatment on the range of motion of the carpus and tarsus of horses

in kinematic effects, treatment effects
Clinical signs of back pain and spinal dysfunction can include asymmetric or restricted joint motion.
Positive support evidence that chiropractic treatment of horses may increase joint ROM of the carpus and tarsus and improve joint ROM asymmetry.
An investigation into the relationship of pelvic misalignment on forelimb hoof size

in pelvic symmetry
Pelvic rotation misalignment can be associated with reduced performance and lameness
Redistribution of locomotor forces to other limbs to off-load a limb is a compensatory mechanism
Evidence of a statistically significant relationship between the alignment of the pelvis and growth (length and width) of horse’s fore-hooves
An investigation into relationships of horse and rider pelvic asymmetry.

Assessment of single horse and rider partnerships for misalignments and asymmetry of neck, spine, pelvis
Positive evidence of a relationship between the direction of the pelvic rotation of the horse and rider pelvic tilt.
Positive basis for further research into causal effect relationships of horse and rider asymmetries.
A preliminary study to investigate the range of motion of the proximal limb joints and relationships to British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club (BVA/KC) hip score in dogs.

in dogs, range of motion
Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases in dogs and often show minimal clinic signs
Passive joint ROM demonstrates integrity of the joint without influence of muscle activity.
Dogs with a higher BVA/KC hip score on one side may predispose to an increased measured extension range of that hip joint and the contralateral forelimb elbow extension.
An investigation into the effects of McTimoney chiropractic treatment on axial rotation of the equine pelvis.

in pelvic symmetry, treatment effects
Quantitative assessment of the effect of chiropractic treatment on the axial rotation of the pelvis to reduce asymmetry.
Statistical evidence of postural pelvic asymmetry improvement with McTimoney treatment for at least a 3 week period
