“Rocky” Canine Positioning Manikin

Develop Consistent Canine Positioning Technique

Proper positioning affects everything from the quality of a radiograph to safe handling during an examination or procedure. Rocky gives students a repeatable way to practice manipulating and aligning the canine body while learning how positioning changes based on the task being performed. Students can work through common positions such as lateral, dorsal, ventral, and standing recumbency while developing a better understanding of anatomical alignment and body orientation. For diagnostic imaging instruction, the manikin can help reinforce positioning principles before students must coordinate equipment, landmarks, and a live animal at the same time. Repeated practice allows learners to focus on positioning mechanics and build a more consistent approach before applying those techniques with canine patients.
