Abstract In recent years, exercise on a water treadmill has come to have great relevance in rehabilitation and training centres for sport horses. Its use exploits certain physical properties of water, related to the fundamental principles of hydrodynamics, such as buoyancy, viscosity, hydrostatic pressure, and water temperature. These properties together with deliberate specification of the depth of the water and the velocity of the treadmill provide a combination of parameters that can be varied according to the purpose of the rehabilitation or training programme, the disease to rehabilitate, or the healing phase. In the current article, kinematic adaptations to exercise on a water treadmill and the direct application of such exercise to the rehabilitation of superficial and deep digital flexor tendon and accessory ligament injuries and back and joint diseases are described.

水上跑步机在运动马肌肉骨骼损伤康复中的应用

摘要 近年来，在水上跑步机上进行运动已成为运动马康复和训练中心的重要内容。它的使用利用了水的某些物理特性，与流体动力学的基本原理有关，例如浮力、粘度、静水压力和水温。这些特性连同对水深和跑步机速度的特意指定提供了参数组合，这些参数可以根据康复或训练计划的目的、要康复的疾病或愈合阶段而变化。在当前的文章中，
