EqueStride™ Equine Tendon & Suspensory Ligament Support System
EqueStride: Revolutionizing Equine
Tendon Injury Treatment
EqueStride is a groundbreaking adjustable support system that has transformed the treatment and rehabilitation of flexor tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in horses.
Key Innovations:
-
Variable Support: EqueStride’s unique design allows for tailored support levels, enabling a carefully controlled exercise regimen throughout the rehabilitation process.
-
Proven Protection: Rigorous testing (Smith et al., 2002) confirms EqueStride’s ability to resist overextension of the fetlock joint under real-world loads, unlike simple boots or bandages.
Unmatched Benefits:
-
Exercise During Rehabilitation: EqueStride allows horses to exercise during recovery from immediate post injury right through to the completion of rehabilitation, promoting optimal healing and a faster return to full activity.
-
Progressive Loading: The adjustable support facilitates a gradual increase in load on the healing tissues, maximizing the quality of repair and minimizing the risk of reinjury post recovery due to the superior quality heal.
-
Ease of Use: EqueStride is significantly easier to fit and remove than a cast, streamlining the treatment process.
EqueStride vs. Traditional Options:
Traditional treatments like casts and prolonged periods of stable rest prevent exercise, hindering optimal healing. EqueStride addresses this limitation, by enabling the essential rehabilitation exercise needed for a good quality heal, that mimics original tendon fibre alignment that is resistant to reinjury.
