In the Logan Basic technique, which ligaments are affected?

• A. Equine: sacral tuberous ligament; Canine: sacral sciatic ligament
• B. Equine: sacral ligaments are unaffected; Canine: sacral ligaments unaffected
• C. Equine: sacral sciatic ligament; Canine: sacral tuberous ligament
• D. Equine: sacral sciatic ligament; Canine: sacral tuberous ligament

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that Logan Basic targets specific sacral ligaments to release tension and improve sacral alignment, but which ligament is emphasized depends on the animal’s anatomy. In horses, the tension seen with this technique is addressed in the sacral sciatic ligament, a key stabilizing band in the sacrocaudal region. In dogs, the emphasis is on the sacral tuberous (sacrotuberous) ligament, which connects the sacrum to the ischiatic tuberosity and can influence pelvic mechanics when tense. So the best choice reflects these species-specific targets: equine sacral sciatic ligament and canine sacral tuberous ligament. The other options imply no ligament involvement or swap the ligament names inappropriately, which doesn’t fit how the technique engages the sacral structures in each species.
