Figure 6 – FLIR Image to show horse with clip (Blanket clip) The present study was investigating wether there was a difference in surface temperature when light therapy was applied. Despite the points where the device was placed are visable (in some cases) on thermographic images taken, the difference in the temperature is not significant (highlighted in appendices). A further improvement to the study would be to ensure all horses were fully clipped prior to the study commencing. Fonesca et al., (2006) did not indicate wether the horses in their study were clipped prior to imaging. However, the camera that Fonesca et al., (2006) used to take images of the thoracolumbar spine is of a much better quality than the camera used in the current study. The camera used by Fonesca et al., (2006) is a DTIS 500, Emerge Vision camera which cost around $4,000 (AAEP.org, 2018). This makes the camera very expensive and is not a device the average practitioner would be able to afford. The FLIR C3 is an inexpensive camera in comparison coming in around £788.40 (FLIR Systems, 2018). This cheaper price makes the C3 an affordable option that still gives a good quality image it is just not as high quality as the camera used by Fonesca et al., (2006). It was stated by Soreko and Howell (2018) that horses do not need to be clipped for thermographic imaging however the coat does need to be short and uniform in length. This does not give allowances for clip and type of clip but the fact that the coat is required to be ‘uniform’ in length does suggest that having a horse that is partially clipped may affect the result and temperature of the horse. Adapting the current study’s method could potentially have 24PDF Image | THE EFFECT OF LIGHT THERAPY ON HEART RATE, HORSES
