Shoulder Injury and Treatment

Introduction: Studies have found pain and inflammation in the shoulder region of working sled dogs, and as skijoring involves pulling a weighted rider, the act of pulling in harness may result in injuries similar to those seen in sled dogs. The hypothesis is that the biceps brachii (BB) and triceps brachii (TB) muscles would work harder during skijoring as compared with a free-run.
