| Sumario: | This study examines what effect swimming has on the rehabilitation, compared with only
resting after a cranial cruciate ligament surgery. It consists of a literature study, an inquiry
study and a visit to a rehabilitation centre.
The inquiry study shows that ten weeks after a cranial cruciate ligament repair, the
lameness has disappeared in a greater number of dogs among those that undergo
swimming as physiotherapy compared with those that do not swim. Literature shows that
swimming has a positive effect on the result after surgery. The thigh circumference
increases faster, the limb function improves more and the range of motion gets larger.
Dogs should therefore be recommended swimming as rehabilitation after surgery for a
rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. |
