Does anyone know what they mean?

extensor postural thrust?
placing?
wheelbarrowing?
conscious proprioception?

I would be most grateful if someone could enlighten me

Any vet who would write something like that and not put it in terms a person would likely understand is a vet I would not listen to.

It all has to do with her condition deteriorating neurologically. Proprioception is an understanding of where she is in space so to speak and their movements are not normal. The others...I am sure you could find on Google. But...honestly, that guy is offensive if you ask me.
