Summary: In a previous Vetpodcast on Physical Therapy, mention was made in passing of the use of braces and prosthetics in the treatment of animals. Just as is the case with physical rehabilitation, this is another area of treatment where the knowledge and techniques gained over the years from human medicine are being modified and applied to veterinary medicine. Ben Blecha works in this field at a company called AceOrthoSolutions in Nebraska and discusses his work in this field. For more information, Ben’s wbsite is www.aceorthosolutions.com
