Canine RRE, FITT Principle - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Place 2 obstacles apart (6-8ft)
      - The dog should be on a lead
      - Do not turn too sharply at the top and bottom
  - - - Should be performed on a flat non-slip circle
      - Initially start with 6-8ft wide and decrease width to 1.5 body lengths over several sessions
      - Walked slowly and controlled
      - One circle performed in one direction and then direction changed
      - Use cones to ensure consistency of distance
- - - - Ground = stimulus
        
        Sensory nerves (mechanoreceptors) feel floor under paws
        
        Signal sent along relay neuron to brain
        
        Signal sent along motor neuron back to paws
        
        Effected muscle contracts
        
        Triggers reflex pathways
  - - - On a very small scale
- - - - Concentric and eccentrically
- - - - Physically move the animal
        
        More control
        
        Laterally and craniocaudal
      - Get animal to move themselves
        
        Using food start with smaller movements
  - - - Especially of Type I slow postural muscle fibres
      - Mechanoreceptors and balance system
        
        Tell the cerebellum that the body is being pushed off balance
        
        Brain then sends motor signals to muscles to contract and pull the animal back to the correct position
- - - - Hip dysplasia
      - Hip/ stifle OA
      - Following stifle/ hip surgery
      - Neuro cases
      - Muscle build to target the gluteal, quadriceps and hamstring and gastrocnemius
- - - - Type
