Reasons for performing study: Electrotherapy is used in human medicine and successively also in veterinary practice, but relatively little is known about the mechanisms of action in detail.This study is focused on identifying the physiological effects of micro-pulse stimulation, a new method designed for equine electrotherapy, using the thermodynamic sensing. Objectives: To establish on the basis of measurement with the Thermo Dynamic Sensors, if the micro-pulse stimulation has any effect on blood circulation. Methods: Twenty horses participated in this study. Two miniature Thermo Dynamic Sensors (TDS), working on the principle of the balance energy equilibrium and special designed for the measurement on horses, were placed on both forelimbs and monitored the changes in thermal activity. Micro-pulse stimulation of specif.. Read More»
