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.
The KrosschecK™ Leverage Testing Device (KLTD) is designed as a complimentary workup tool for veterinarians and farriers. This tool is easily and comfortably attached to a horse’s foot using a specialized rubber strap. Once on the foot, the wedged dial on the ground surface is easily rotated to 8 different locations. By elevating different locations around the perimeter of the foot, you can influence the various soft tissue structures in and around the distal interphalangeal joint, as well as the joint surface it self. Discomfort and comfort can be illustrated by the horse with the wedged dial in a given position.
