VetkinTape® Case Studies
Discover how veterinary professionals and animal therapists use VetkinTape® as part of their treatment and rehabilitation programmes. These real-world cases show different applications of veterinary kinesiology taping in horses and foals.
Explore the cases below to learn more about the condition, the VetkinTape® application and the approach used by veterinary professionals.
Angular Limb Deformities in Foals
Angular limb deformities can cause one or more limbs of a newborn foal to deviate from their normal alignment. In this case, VetkinTape® was applied to support the affected structures during the early development of the foals.
Application focus: Limb support and stabilization during early development.
Peroneus Tertius Rupture
A rupture of the peroneus tertius affects the coordinated movement of the horse’s hind limb. VetkinTape® can be incorporated into a rehabilitation programme to provide sensory stimulation and support normal movement patterns during controlled exercise.
Application focus: Hind limb rehabilitation, proprioception and movement support.
Sacroiliac Pain in Horses
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can restrict movement and affect the performance of a horse. This case demonstrates a VetkinTape® application over the SI region as part of a controlled treatment and exercise programme.
Application focus: SI-joint region, mobility and rehabilitation support.
Chronic Back Pain
This case follows a 7-year-old show jumper with chronic back pain and reduced performance. Over a two-month treatment period, VetkinTape® applications were combined with manual therapy, functional electrical stimulation and proprioceptive training.
Application focus: Back and sacroiliac region, muscle function and rehabilitation.
