Collaborative care

A pathway shaped around the patient.

A useful rehabilitation pathway gives structure to communication while leaving room for the individual dog, the veterinary context and the owner’s circumstances.

The starting point

Referral and assessment belong together.

The reason for referral and the information supplied by the veterinary team provide clinical context. The owner’s account adds the details of daily movement, behaviour, environment and care.

Assessment considers those sources together. Land-based observation, gait or stance analysis and other assessment options can then be considered according to the question being explored.

A proposed care pathway

Assessment. Shared goals. Review. Handover.

  1. 01

    Understand the patient

    Bring the referral, relevant history, owner observations and assessment findings together.

  2. 02

    Agree meaningful goals

    Discuss priorities that connect clinical context with the dog’s daily life and the owner’s capacity to provide support.

  3. 03

    Review the response

    Revisit movement, comfort, participation and practical observations when considering the next stage.

  4. 04

    Share the next steps

    Clarify the ongoing plan, relevant updates and the information needed for a handover or return to the referring team.

Choosing an approach

The equipment follows the question.

Different cases may call for different combinations of physiotherapy, therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy or other modalities. Movement technology can add information where it helps explore the question at hand.

The dog’s emotional experience and the owner’s environment also influence what is appropriate and practical. A pathway is a structure for those decisions, with opportunities to revisit the plan.
