In this video, dog patient Lumi receives rehabilitation support to test flexion and extension of her hind legs.
A message from our veterinary care team:
This exercise is beneficial for animals that are not yet ready to move around on their own. Disuse of a joint can lead to limited range of motion. A gentle stretch is achieved by reaching the animal’s limb forward or backward. Support the joints as necessary and reach the animal’s limb in each direction until a soft limit is reached. Do not pass this soft limit but hold the limb here for 5-10 seconds. This exercise should NOT be painful for the animal. If it appears that it is uncomfortable for the pet, decrease the degree to which the animal is reaching.
