Musculoskeletal examination of the forelimb of the horse
Objective:
The intention of this tutorial video is to illustrate the methods of examining the forelimb and neck of a horse in order to identify abnormalities that may be associated with lameness or disease.
Animal:
A 16-year-old quarter horse gelding was used for examination.
Methods:
The horse was examined for abnormalities by means of physical examination.
Results:
The examination of the forelimb and neck of the horse was successfully completed.
Clinical Relevance:
This examination technique is required to identify abnormalities in the equine forelimb and can be utilized during a lameness examination.
