This registration is for ISELP Members for IN-PERSON attendance only.
ISELP will be hosting an educational opportunity of a life time, in fantastic Lexington, KY at

The Hock and Crus module uses background knowledge and clinical case presentations as well as demonstrations to explore some of the most common conditions of the hind limb that practitioners deal with in everyday practice.
Conditions reviewed include proximal and distal hock joint conditions including interosseus enthesopathies and collateral desmopathies, periarticular conditions such as plantar tarsal sheath syndrome and commun calcanean tendinopathy as well as cranial and caudal crus conditions. Special emphasis is placed on the rehabilitation and the rational corrective shoeing of the different conditions using kinesitherapic shoes.
