Audience

This study program is intended for all horse and animal lovers, for riders, for horse owners, for veterinarians, for stable workers, and for those working in all equine therapeutic fields. With the aim of treating and caring for your horse, or the horses under your responsibility, and also to acquire new effective therapeutic tools, develop your profession, stand out from other practitioners and acquire professions that are in great demand in the labor market, with international certificates from the leading institutions in the field and for the first time in the country.

About the program

How the horse is built, and moves affect the longevity of the horse’s career, potential injuries it might sustain and how well it performs. Conformation and biomechanics go hand in hand, and it’s essential that people working with horses understand this to ensure the health and well-being of the horse.

Biomechanics is the study of the forces that affect movement of the body. It examines how muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments operate together for a horse to walk, passage or perform lateral movements. Different anatomical structures work in synchrony. The bones are the support structure. They are rigid and provide a framework. The joints’ anatomy dictates their degree of mobility (range of motion). Ligaments are the connections between bones, frequently involving joints. They are strong and flexible, allowing for distinct movement of a joint while providing stability. The muscles serve to propel the horse and to stabilise. For every muscle that moves a joint in one direction, there is typically a countering muscle that can pull the joint in the other direction. When the opposing muscles work in unison, both firing in balance, they stabilise joints. This equilibrium keeps the legs rigid when weight- bearing, the back from breaking and the head elevated and in motion with the horse’s movement.

Gait abnormalities are alterations in the way of walking, usually due to injuries or pathologies of the spinal cord, brain, legs or feet. Ideally a horse will move its limbs in a completely straight line and the hind limbs in a separate plane to the forelimbs. Some horses' movement deviates from this ideal and these deviations are known as gait abnormalities.

Lameness is a term used to describe a horse’s change in gait, usually in response to pain somewhere in a limb, but also possibly as a result of a mechanical restriction on movement. We all think of lameness when a horse is obviously limping, but lameness may only cause a subtle change in gait, or even just a decreased ability or willingness to perform. A horse can become lame from a variety of causes (conditions or ailments), involving almost any anatomic region within a limb. Some conditions are more easily diagnosed and treated than others. Lameness and treatment is both science and art. It requires a solid understanding of equine anatomy and physiology, conformation, biomechanics, and medicine, and yet it requires adaptation in response to changing conditions, horse types, uses and personalities, and owner needs.

You will understand how the spine moves, the physiological restrictions and what can lead to a poor tack and a poor training.

Its natural locomotion can be misunderstood, which can lead to mistakes with unfortunate consequences on its locomotion and mental integrity.

This course is designed to give students an appreciation of biomechanics. The course focuses on equine biomechanics and the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the way the horse moves and performance. Students will develop an awareness of horse biomechanics then relate to the changes in these tissues in response to forces and physical activity. The musculoskeletal system is examined with respect to its biomechanical properties in order to understand how locomotion is generated, maintained and arrested. This course will develop an understanding of the value, nature and application of equine gait analysis and allow students to critically evaluate equine movement. The methods of measurement of both kinetics and kinematics are discussed and the application of these methods is evaluated in practical setting. A series of biomechanical technology will be covered and used in practicals to evaluate lameness and performance. The biomechanics of different equestrian disciplines are examined and the efficacy of using the results to predict performance discussed. The module also examines how the rider, saddle, shoeing, trimming, surfaces and conformation can influence the gait of the horse.

On completion of this course students will have encountered concepts that encompass all aspects of equine biomechanics.

Understanding the stresses and strains experienced by horses in motion leads to greater understanding of injury and injury prevention.

Being able to identify subtle changes in movement can mean the difference between early intervention and a sustained successful career for a horse, or a premature end to their career due to injury. Developing a good understanding of biomechanics, locomotion and gait, and being able to observe and interpret movement, are possibly some of the most important skills for the equine therapist.

This programme will cover some of the science and key concepts of biomechanics, defining key terminology and helping students to develop the understanding and application of the science to real life in a meaningful way.

The programme will explore locomotion and the locomotor system, looking in detail at how horses actually move, defining key terminology such as stride, stride length, frequency and duration, looking in detail at stride patterns, the specific equine gaits, being able to correctly describe the gates, and identify gait abnormalities. The programme will explore the concept of Ground Reaction Force and why it is meaningful for the equine practitioner along with an overview of other scientific measurements of gait and gait assessment tools and methods.

The programme will explore lameness, what is meant by lameness, the evaluation, assessment and grading of lameness, discuss contemporary issues and debates in the measurement and interpretation of lameness. The programme will also consider some of the main causes of equine lameness.

This programme will also look at the interactions of tack, equipment and rider on the biomechanics and locomotion of the horse, how what we put on the horse impacts its movement and ultimately its performance.

A key aspect of this programme will be the development of the practical skill of dynamic observation. Learning how to observe and interpret movement is a skill that takes time to develop, and this programme seeks to provide an opportunity to rapidly enhance these skills. Breaking down the ability to observe into simple steps so that the student can effectively analyse and describe the horse’s movement. Secondly, understanding what those observations mean and how we interpret them is a key skill to develop. Whilst this programme will not include diagnostic techniques, common patterns of movement and the types of pathologies that they may indicate will be explored.

By the end of this programme the student should feel confident in assessing a horse in motion and reporting their observations in a structures and meaningful way.

Working as an Equine Therapist, when supporting a client campaigning their horse for an event such as the Olympics, being able to identify a subtle change in the way that horse moves, to understand what that is telling you and being able to refer that horse for whatever treatment and intervention might be necessary to keep it sound and competitive, is far more of a skill than simply being able to recognise when the horse has broken down. This is a skill my client value above all else.

Learning outcomes:

• Critically assess the principles of biomechanics in relation to the musculoskeletal structures of the horse.

• Use kinematics and kinetics to critically evaluate different locomotory gaits and complex movements of the horse.

• Discuss how intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect biomechanics in horses

• Critically appraise the application of biomechanics to different disciplines.

Al-Ahliyya Amman University

Al-Ahliyya Amman University is the first private university established in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by a decree of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in 1989. The University opened its doors in 1990 with three faculties namely the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and the Faculty of Administrative & Financial Sciences. In the following year, the Faculty of Pharmacy & Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering were established. In 2001 AAU founded the Faculty of Information Technology and inaugurated the Faculty of Nursing in 2005. In 2010, AAU introduced the Faculty of Architecture and Design which was approved to include Architecture, Graphic and Interior Design specializations. By doing so, the number of faculties became eight offering 29 Bachelor programs. Moreover, the University offered eight Master’s programs the first of which was the Master Program in Law which in 2005 was part of the Graduate Studies. AAU provides students with distinguished Graduate Studies Programs and with distinctive Faculty members. To meet the administrative, financial and technical working needs in the University environment, AAU has provided qualified administrative cadres in various administrations and departments which aim to provide the best services to the university community of students and their parents as well as to the academic staff. Thus, twenty-seven years have passed since the inception of AAU in which it continued providing the local and regional markets with elite graduates who occupied important positions in local and regional institutions whether in the public or private sectors. Moreover, a number of AAU graduates have pursued their Graduate Studies in the most prestigious European and American universities. Additionally, a number of them are working in AAU and other Jordanian, regional and international universities. It is worth mentioning that the number of graduates in the various specializations that AAU offered reached (24.338) male and female students.

Al-Ahliyya Amman University is committed to develop and apply the "Quality Assurance Standards in Higher Education Institutions" and to follow any other adopted quality standards by investing human and physical energies to produce an academically and morally outstanding generation who is able to deal with the requirements of the time and to keep up with the new developments efficiently and effectively. This act aims to meet the needs of students, and to enable the University to play its role in promoting academic research, community services and to depict Jordan as a distinctive educational destination at the regional level.

CMA

The Complementary Medical Association, The world’s biggest & leading association of research, academic training&recognition of colleges & therapists worldwide in the fields of complementary & integrative medicine.

Mission & Objectives

The Complementary Medical Association's (The CMA) primary aim is to promote ethical, responsible, professional complementary medicine to the public and the medical profession.

We believe that by promoting The CMA and its Registered Members & Colleges in all categories, though the media and online in a hugely high-profile manner, we are able to help the public and doctors to realize that complementary and integrative medicine is - when delivered safely and ethically - a viable and highly desirable form of healthcare. In addition, here at the CMA, we are totally dedicated to representing "the professional face of complementary medicine" and by promoting research, education and knowledge in the field, we will help to stimulate demand for the medicine of the 21st century and beyond.

The CMA is great news for professional practitioners, ethical colleges and patients who demand and expect excellence in every aspect of treatment.

What is the CMA?

The CMA is a not-for-profit organization which means that any funds we raise, through membership fees, book, training and product sales or donations are invested straight back into the organization.

A great part of our work consists of referring public and conventional medics alike to CMA registered practitioners so that they can be assured that treatment will be delivered

by a highly qualified, insured practitioner who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics and disciplinary procedure. We call this the "CMA Referrals Scheme".

In addition, we are able to help members of the public who wish to train in the complementary medical field to access our Registered Training Schools and Colleges. We provide assistance to Schools who wish to have their courses Registered and Accredited by the CMA.

We work closely with the conventional medical profession as we ultimately believe that the most important person after all, is the patient, and we believe that by presenting the patient with good, accurate information about complementary medical approaches they can make responsible informed decisions about their own health care. It is important to remember that both complementary and conventional medicine have a great deal to offer - when used appropriately, justifiably and responsibly. Ultimately, the freedom to choose one's own health care is a vital human right which should be protected.

Our History

The CMA was established in early 1993, by Jayney Goddard, in response to the overriding lack of public and medical knowledge about the complementary medical profession. During the initial two years we devoted our time to performing the market research that would indicate whether there could be a viable way of raising the profile of ethical, responsible complementary medicine. It was vital to establish and justify whether "yet another organization" needed to exist in the already saturated complementary medical organization field.

We spent a long time analyzing the entire arena and found that nothing was being done at that time by any membership body or organization to promote practitioners

or training schools in a high profile, professional manner.

Furthermore, at that time, complementary medicine had a very unprofessional profile; somewhat akin to a cottage industry. This was a sorry state of affairs and it became rapidly apparent that The CMA needed to exist if professional complementary medicine were to stand a chance.

Here at The CMA we are a dedicated team of committed professionals (we're all qualified healthcare practitioners) and we are absolutely serious about achieving our mission. We have always had a commitment to making sure that our Members can contact us easily and will always be able to get through to a real person at the end of the phone line. In addition, our e-communications are exceptionally effective and we are able to disseminate important information to our Members extremely rapidly and efficiently.

Where are we now?

The CMA opened its doors to members at the beginning of 1995 and to date, The CMA represents the interests of thousands of practitioners in various categories - including students and 180+ Training Schools/Colleges with additional organizations approaching us regularly. We also have another membership section, "Friends of the CMA" which comprises a variety of supporters, all of whom are keen to support the work of the CMA.

The CMA has a high media profile and we constantly work with major media organizations.

We are committed to cultivating a high media profile, through which we achieve in excess of ten individual media exposures per week including TV, radio, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. Our estimated monthly reach is circa 650,000 individuals.

We are committed to thinking creatively when it comes to promoting our members and we are dedicated to working creatively when promoting our Member's interests - just one example of this is that The CMA has - over the years - even undertaken extremely high-profile promotional campaigns utilizing advertising space on London Underground trains and Docklands Light Railway.

What We Do

q Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hugely important for us all in this profession. We offer practitioners lots of opportunities to keep their professional skills up-to-date with courses, seminars, ongoing tutorials and more by the leading lectures of UK & Europe.

q Membership ID Card, Certificate

It is vital that practitioners display their CMA certificate within their office or practice rooms to confirm their

Membership of this esteemed organization. We also

provide them with an ID card, which many of our Members find useful when on external site visits.

q LondonBoroughsSpecialTreatmentExemptedStatus Certain categories of practitioner are subject to requiring a “Special Treatment License” if they work in London and other cities. These licenses cost up to £1000+ and practicing without one leaves the practitioner open to a fine of up to £5000+. By registering with the CMA, after we approve their professional level and training, they are covered under our umbrella exemption – saving you thousands – and protecting them and their practice.

q CMA weekly e-Newsletter

This fantastically informative email brings practitioners the very latest news and research from around the world on all aspects of complementary medicine, natural health and wellness – and relevant conventional medical findings too.

q CMA Training / Courses

The CMA is dedicated to keeping our Members at the top of their profession, to this end we consistently offer ongoing training – with a particular emphasis on practice and training school development. CMA Members benefit from hugely discounted rates for these courses, compared to non- Members. CMA is an academic supporter of complementary medicine colleges, which meet the high criteria of the CMA, and after examining in-depth the curricula and study conditions that the college grants to students, the CMA grants a certificate of recognition to the college.

q Liaison at governmental level representing All CMA Members

The CMA is a Member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Complementary and Integrative Medicine in UK. This means that we are representing practitioners’ interests at Governmental level – and can shape policy within this field to support our Members. CMA Members are allowed to attend these meetings at the House of Commons by arrangement.

q Webinars, Seminars, CPD workshops and further qualifications

The CMA liaises with various respected organization who are offering further training to our Members. If we believe that these trainings are of value, we negotiate special rates for our Members as part of our Membership Benefits package.

In addition to each certificate that the graduates receive from AUEDI, each graduate also receives an international certificate from CMA.
