2018 CVM News: Sports medicine—rooting for the horses

Abstract

This news item from Cornell Research is about : All across Cornell University’s campus, students attend classes; staff and professors work in offices or labs. Meanwhile, at any given moment, on the northeast edge of campus, Norm G. Ducharme, Clinical Sciences, may be performing surgery on a 1,200-pound, pedigreed sport horse. Or he may be watching a race horse run 40 miles per hour on a huge treadmill set in the floor of a hangar-like room. He may be scanning the latest international race and sporting results, to guess if his treatments have worked.
