Holistic evaluation of equine back dysfunction is crucial for effective treatment and recovery. Addressing all physical findings and root causes ensures optimal patient function and prevents recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Equine Sports Medicine
  • Veterinary Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Equine back dysfunction is a common issue affecting performance and well-being.
  • Previous approaches often focus on symptoms rather than the whole horse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating equine back dysfunction.
  • To explore various factors influencing back health and rehabilitation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Holistic assessment including physical findings and root cause analysis.
  • Evaluation of external factors: shoeing, teeth, footing, training aids, and management practices.
  • Introduction of postural analysis, muscle correction, and rehabilitative exercises (ground and ridden).

Main Results:
