Focus on Canine Sports Medicine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Injury in Agility Dogs Part 2 By Sherman O. Canapp, Jr., DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS, photos courtesy of Sherman Canapp This part of the article will continue our discussion of the CCL injury. Here we’ll look at the structure and content of rehabilitation therapy, at-home care and therapy, and the dog’s progression through various stages from week to week. Rehabilitation Rehabilitation Therapy Rehabilitation therapy has been shown to improve muscle mass and attenuate muscle atrophy that occurs in the post-operative period, increase stifle joint ROM, especially extension, improve weight bearing as measured by force plate analysis, and reduce the progression of osteoarthritis. Rehabilitation guidelines following stifle surgery are structured to direct the clinician in returning canine athletes to preinjury activity levels as quickly and safely as possible. Criterion-based protocols eliminate subjective progression through rehabilitation by dictating the milestones that must be reached in order to progress to the next phase. The rate of progression can differ between canine athletes and is dependent on the individual rate of healing and the demands of the canine athlete’s activity level. Also, clinicians should prescribe therapeutic interventions within each phase that are tailored to the patient’s needs. Prescribing therapeutic interventions in a cookbook fashion for each particular diagnosis is committing a disservice to the patient. Three phases of rehabilitation are included for recovery in the canine athlete: the acute phase, advanced phase, and return-tosport phase.
