Elektrostimulation zur Rehabilitation von Pferden

Elektrostimulation (ES) wird seit Jahrzehnten zur Schmerztherapie und Prävention und Behandlung von Muskelatrophie beim Menschen, insbesondere bei Patienten nach Apoplex oder Rückenmarkverletzungen, eingesetzt. In der Veterinärmedizin findet diese Technik seit ca. 10–20 Jahren ebenfalls Anwendung, sie ist jedoch bisher nicht so weitverbreitet wie beim Menschen. Wir zeigen an der Fallstudie eines 7-jährigen Dressurpferdes, wie ES zur Rehabilitation eines Sportpferdes nach langer Heilungspause eingesetzt werden kann.
