BLOG:
What is Transneuronal Degeneration?
(And can you use laser and acupuncture on the same day?)
|
|
|
A question came up on a veterinary rehab chat group about whether doing acupuncture and laser on the same day was appropriate. The person who posed the question thought that she had heard that these therapies should be spaced at least a day apart.
One responder had posted that the reason one would want to space out the therapies would be to avoid transneuronal degeneration (TND). Further discussion ensued and another responder gave a description, “…think of it as using up of the neurotransmitters and metabolic resources in the face of applied stimulation. TND is a gradation of used up resources and decreasing appropriate nerve function and/or
health.”
There were suggestions to monitor the pupillary light reflexes (PLR) to monitor for TND. The PLRs can become delayed or asymmetrical. One can also monitor respiratory rate (which may increase), or gut sounds (which may decrease), and on horses, observable patches of sweating may be noted. Of course, the caveat is that in order to monitor PLR, or gut sounds, or respiratory rate, one needs to take note of
the baseline when the animal first comes in / before treatment.
Clinically, the concern was that the treatment(s) could be rendered ineffective as well.
To be honest, I had never heard of this! I’m assuming nor have many of my physio colleagues either. So, I headed over to Pubmed...

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc,
etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the
Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! Go there... Check it out!!!
