UTC provides advanced tendon and ligament imaging for both analysis and rehabilitation.
We regularly monitor response of tissue to training, identifying early signs of stress to help prevent injury and enhance performance longevity.
Exercise induced tendonitis is, in its early stages, often not clinically evident, and with continued load on these tendons, significant pathology is present when the condition becomes apparent. UTC has been shown to be capable of identifying these tendons.
Using the UTC algorithm, we deliver detailed, quantitative insights into tendon and ligament structure and composition, enabling correct diagnosis and care.
Tailored recovery plans adapt to each horse’s healing progress, ensuring optimal support through every phase of rehabilitation.
Tendon healing from injury progresses through four basic stages that have broad non specific timelines and merge into each other. There is a small window in stage 3 (fascicle formation and organisation) that is the optimal time to organise healing fibres into a longitudinal pattern along the tendon length, rather than a mesh of interwoven scar tissue. UTC scans, by quantitative identification of the tendon structure, identify this crucial time.

At Barossa Equine, UTC technology provides unparalleled insights into tendon structure & composition/health, guiding every stage of tailored/monitored rehabilitation for the successful return to function/race training/ recovery.
