Bicipital tenosynovitis - WS&PEMF
Weight shifting
WS causes isometric contractions:
non fatiguing
not a contra for atrophied muscle
Causes remodelling of the tendon fibres in the right direction with type 1 collagen
A way of strengthening without putting direct strain on the joint
Good as you want to avoid aggravating the tendon and joint
Pushing the dog off balance changes the normal position of the dog which causes a contraction, altering the correct proprioceptive awareness
Alters centre of mass so dog has to isometrically contract to remain standing. Lateral weight shifting of the forelimbs would target Benji's atrophied supra and infraspinatus
Improve forelimb weight bearing as likely off loading left fore due to BT
Develops type 1 muscle
Additional muscle will provide support to tendon
Build atrophied muscle:
Strengthening muscle will provide support and increase ROM during pro and retraction of movement
Reduce 40% atrophy of supra and infra
Activation of mechanoreceptors
Sends signals to vestibular system. Enable Benji to re-educate his gait after a period of uneven weight bearing, also beneficial for stimulation of atrophied muscles.
PEMF on vasodilation
Increase blood flow: to bring nutrients to damaged area
Aiding biceps tendon healing- encouraging cellular metabolism
Reduces pain: decreases nerve cell potential making it difficult to trigger the relase of neurotransmitters
From -70 to -90MV
Blocks transmission of pain signal
Pain associated when tendon is under strain during movement
Increase cell metabolism
Proinflammitory factors and increased production of messenger cells
Neovascularization, tissue regeneration and modelling
Increased blood flow in tendon, protein synthesis and collagen realignment
Good for atrophy muscle creating a cellular environment
Calcium binds to calmodulin and dissociates nitric oxide
