3.1.7 Study animal 7: Paride

 

The research results for one of the study animals are given as an example. This horse was chosen entirely at random.

Table 2 : angles in degrees (°) XY-plane P7

 

 

This graph shows the pattern of the values of the angle BT, AT and AT2 for the study animal Paride. These are the angles in the frontal plane or the angles between the tu ber coxae from the rear view.

The table contains the minimum and maximum angle and the difference between these minimum and maximum angles.

Prior to the treatment, a small amplitude of the angles can be seen in the graph (yellow line). Five weeks after the treatment, however, there is clearly a greater and more regular amplitude (blue line).

In the table, the difference between the minimum and maximum angle is greater after the treatment (12.1°) than before the treatment (9.0°). Five weeks after the treatment, an even greater difference can be observed (14.1°).

Table 3 : angles in degrees (°) YZ-plane P7

 

 

This graph shows the pattern in the values of the angle beta BT, AT and AT2 for the study animal Paride. These are the angles in the horizontal plan or the angles between the tu ber coxae from the top view.

The table contains the minimum and maximum angle and the difference between this minimum and maximum angle.

Prior to the treatment, a very irregular amplitude of the angles can be seen in the graph (yellow line). After the treatment, there is clearly a smoother line in the angles (pink line). Five weeks after the treatment, the amplitude is greater and more regular (blue line).

In the table, the difference between the minimum and maximum angle is greater after the treatment (6.9°) than before the treatment (4.6°). Five weeks after the treatment, an even greater difference can be observed (10.8°).

3.1.7.3 Conclusion

From the table and the graph – in the XY-plane (from rear view) – it can be concluded that the freedom of movement is greater in the lumbar spinal column after the treatment and greater still five weeks after the treatment. The rotation of the pelvis is greater and more symmetrical five weeks after the treatment.
