Author Description

With the help of colors and schemes, this two-page chart makes it easy to understand diagnostic points for equine conditions. On the first page there is a list of acupuncture points that are used as a diagnostic aid for equine conditions. Such conditions are: shoulder, carpus, fetlock, foot, hip, stifle, hock or tendon/ligament related lameness; stomach pain, possible EPM, hormone-associated syndrome or immune-mediated myofascial syndrome. On this page the points are shown in relation to the horse skeleton. On the second page the points are shown on a picture of a horse and they are grouped according to the condition they are used to diagnose. The use of colors helps to visualize which points are used to diagnose the various conditions that this chart considers.
