Vibration platform for IVDD
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2023 6:06 am
Hi
I have just started using a vibration platform in my patients.
I recently had an IVDD dachshund with UMN tone in hind legs and it was hard to get him from stand to sit.
The vibration seemed to turn off that UMN tone and also seemed to give him more strength in sit to stand and stand to sit exercises.
I now have another patient who is 2 weeks post op hemilaminectomy surgery.
Has motor function, spasticity in hind legs and ataxia.
I couldn't find any studies to say it might be contraindicated but do you think it might be too early to use the vibration platform in this doggo? Any experience with this?
Thanks
Steve
