Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a means and method for aiding the recovery of and treatment of soft tissue injuries in the legs of horses.
  • this soaking technique involves having someone stand beside the horse with a hose directing a stream of water at its legs for up to twenty minutes per leg. This can be tedious for the person holding the hose.
  • a treatment and recovery aiding apparatus including a liquid carrying conduit secured to a limb at a position at or toward an upper portion of the limb, the conduit releasing the liquid against a surface of the limb so that this liquid can then flow down the limb.
  • the liquid carrying conduit wraps around the limb to a substantial extent.
  • the conduits are flexible coiled hoses.
  • the conduits are secured to the limb by being coiled around the limb.
  • the rate of flow of liquid down the limb is a trickle.
  • the liquid is water.
  • the liquid carrying conduit accepts water from an external source.
  • ⁇ xtemal source is a reticulated supply.
  • the apparatus further comprises a manifold accepting a supply of water from the external source, the manifold distributing this water to at least two liquid releasing conduits, each of which is attached to a different limb.
  • the conduit or conduits are secured to a leg or legs of horse, and the manifold is secured to the body of the horse.
  • the or each conduit includes a water outlet directing water onto a surface of the limb.
  • the or each conduit includes a plurality of water outlets, these being spaced apart along the length of the or each conduit.
  • these water outlets are small holes or perforations in the or each conduit.
  • these small holes or perforations are positioned on the inner side of the conduit coil.
  • these outlets are dripper attachments.
  • the conduit is a reservoir.
  • the reservoir is a bladder being adapted to release the liquid against a surface of the limb so that this can then trickle down the limb.
  • the invention may be said to reside in a treatment and recovery aiding apparatus including at least two liquid carrying conduits being supplied liquid from an external liquid source via a manifold, each liquid carrying conduit being secured to a limb at a position at or toward an upper portion of the limb, and releasing the liquid against a surface of the limb so that this liquid can then flow down the limb.
  • the invention may be said to reside in a method of using the above mentioned treatment and recovery aiding apparatus, the method including the steps of securing a liquid carry conduit to a limb at an appropriate height up the limb and effecting a supply of liquid to the conduit.
  • the step of effecting a supply of liquid to the or each conduit involves connecting the conduit to a reticulated supply of the liquid,
  • the invention may be said to reside in a treatment and recovery aiding apparatus comprising a liquid carrying conduit adapted wrapped around a portion of a leg of a horse which is to be cooled, the conduit carrying a recirculated supply of a cooled liquid.
  • the liquid is passed from a cooling means, to the conduit passing around the leg and back to the cooling means again.
  • the cooling means is a refrigerated heat exchanger.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of the recovery aid fitted to a horse
  • Figure 2 i ⁇ a detailed view of the conduit wrapped around the horse's leg
  • Figure 3 is a detailed view of a recovery aid according to a further form of the invention.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a manifold 4 that is secured to the animals back by a padded strap 6 passing around its chest
  • This manifold 4 accepts a supply of water from a reticulated supply via a flexible hose 8 connected to its inlet port 10.
  • the manifold 4 then distributes water via four outlets 12 to a further four flexible hoses 14.
  • Each manifold outlet 12 is fitted with a tap 16, so that flow through any one of these outlets 12 can be restricted or indeed shut off completely
  • Each of these four hoses 14 passes water to a conduit 20 securely wrapped around each leg of the horse 1 , just above the animal's knee joint.
  • Each conduit 20 is a flexible coiled hose having a series of small holes or perforations therein, these being spaced out along the length of the conduit.
  • Each conduit is attached to its respective supply hose 14 at one end, and blocKed off at its other end.
  • Each conduit 20 is wrapped around a leg by being coiled around the same, the conduit hose being such that it tends to return to its coiled state.
  • the apparatus In use, the apparatus is fitted to the animal in the manner described above. Due to the flexible nature of the hoses 8 ana 1 14, there is minimal restriction to the animal's movements, and the animal 2 can move around within the confines of their stall.
  • Reticulated water is supplied to the apparatus via the manifold 4, from where it is distributed to each of the conduits 20. This water leaks out of the conduits 20 and trickles down the animal's leg to the ground. The evaporation of this water from the horses skin in conjunction with its cool temperature provides the required soaking and cooling effect which has been found to be so effective in reducing the onset or extent of swelling in the tendons and ligaments of a horse.
  • FIG. 3 where there is illustrated a bladder 50 with a closable inlet 52 for the filling thereof, and a plurality of holes 54 which are adapted to permit the gradual release of water placed therein.
  • the bladder 50 is made from a strong but flexible material, and is adapted to be wrapped around the horses' leg just above the knee bone, and fixed in this position. As before, the water bladder leaks a trickle of water down the horses' leg.
  • the main limitation of this embodiment is its limited capacity.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un appareil d'aide de traitement et de guérison pour le traitement des chevaux sans pour autant s'y limiter, l'appareil comprenant au moins deux conduits porteurs de liquide alimentés d'eau en provenance d'une source réticulée par le biais d'un collecteur, chaque conduit porteur de liquide étant assujetti sur un membre au niveau d'une position sur une partie supérieure ou vers une partie supérieure du membre, et libérant le liquide contre une surface du membre de telle manière que ce liquide peut alors s'écouler vers le bas le long du membre pour de ce fait procurer un effet thérapeutique au membre.
