Krosscheck Leverage Testing Device

HOME

Welcome

Thank you for your interest. Within this site you will be introduced to the newly released KrosschecK™ Leverage Testing Device and the process of Leverage Testing the Equine Distal Limb.

The KrosschecK™ Leverage Testing Device (KLTD) is designed as a complimentary workup tool for veterinarians and farriers. This tool can be included in the standard lameness evaluation workflow to both add information for forming a diagnosis, as well as contribute to the structuring of a treatment plan. When the KLTD is used in conjunction with gait evaluations, nerve blocks, flexion tests, radiographs and other diagnostic imaging techniques, the ability to pinpoint a diagnosis can improve. Moreover, the use of the KrosschecK™ Leverage Testing Device encourages a close working relationship and participation between the veterinarian, farrier, horse owner and the horse. All members of the “Team” are able to offer input and hopefully make contributions that will ultimately help correct or at least improve the comfort and well-being of the horse.

Testimonials

“With an accurate presumptive diagnosis for lameness in horses, appropriate corrective measures often lead to a successful conclusion. However, chronic lameness can often present a disappointing challenge for many veterinarians. Leverage testing, and the interventions indicated by the testing results, offers options to help improve function in some of these cases. By paying careful attention during testing, and conscientiously monitoring case progress (and changing treatment as necessary) some of these cases can have significant improvement in their clinical signs and a return to useful function.”

-Dr. Gayle Trotter, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS

What Is Leverage Testing?

Leverage Testing is a process of specifically elevating the horses foot in various directions, thereby challenging the soft tissue and the joints themselves in the lower limb. The leveraging of the foot in specific and focused regions can help to bring out areas of pathology and pain, as well as comfort. There have always been lameness issues in horses that are not clearly diagnosed or have gone unresolved because the standard veterinary workup was inconclusive. Often times, veterinarians and farriers have wondered if the results would be different if they could just ask the horse. The Leverage Testing offers this opportunity to ask the horse where specifically they have pain, as well as what gives them comfort and relief from pain.
