This review covers therapeutic modalities like cold, heat, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation for small animal rehabilitation. Further research is needed to adapt human techniques and confirm their effectiveness in animals.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Physical rehabilitation plays a crucial role in small animal recovery.
  • Modalities like cold, heat, therapeutic ultrasound, and electrical stimulation are common in human physical therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of physical therapeutic modalities in small animal rehabilitation.
  • To identify gaps in the literature regarding the adaptation and efficacy of these techniques in animals.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of information from veterinary and human medical literature.
  • Review of established therapeutic techniques.

Main Results:

  • Current literature provides a basis for using cold, heat, therapeutic ultrasound, and electrical stimulation in small animals.
