What is Impaired Passive Range of Movement?
Impaired range of movement refers to the restriction of natural movement of a joint when moved by an external force, without the animal using their own muscles. It is a condition that can affect any pet and a number of joints throughout their bodies, including hips, shoulders, elbows, knees and the spine.
More often than not, impaired passive range of movement can be a sign of underlying issues such as joint disease, muscle stiffness or neurological problems.
If you have noticed a change in your pet recently, seek advice from your primary care vet and ask for a rehabilitation referral to Greenside Regenerative Therapies & Rehabilitation today.
What Does Impaired Passive Range of Movement Mean for Your Pet?
As a pet owner, it is difficult to see your pet in pain and struggling in any way. When struggling with this restricted range of movement, your pet can be in pain and discomfort until it receives treatment. This can lead to a significantly altered quality of life. Discomfort can lead to a lower level of activity, changes in behaviour or a decreased interest in play. If you notice these changes, speak to your local primary care vet today.
An impaired passive range of movement can also limit your pet’s ability to perform daily activities such as walking, running, climbing or jumping. If your pet is usually very active, this can lead to further health issues due to the reduced activity. Avoid this as much as possible by getting your rehabilitation referral to Greenside quickly.
This impaired movement may be a sign of an underlying condition. Conditions such as arthritis, ligament injuries, muscle strains or neurological disorders could all be an underlying condition that can be identified by our team at Greenside once we have seen your pet upon referral. Our advanced diagnostics help us to fully assess your pet’s condition and find the underlying cause of their pain. Early detection of conditions is vital to prevent further complications and ensure your pet’s long-term health.
At Greenside Vets, we are able to help with early detection, tailored treatment and care plans and rehabilitation for your pets once a referral has been sent to us from your primary care vets. Seek your pet’s referral to us today and give them the best chance at a healthy future.
