Resumo: | Back pain and diseases of the spine are considered significant problems in equine sports and veterinary medicine. This article reports a multimodal approach to the treatment of equine back pain using ozonized platelet rich plasma (PRP), dynamic mobilization exercises, and therapeutic shoeing in 15 horses involved in the vaquejada discipline. Fifteen American Quarter Horses of both sexes engaged in vaquejada in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, with a mean age of 8.61 ± 1.73 years were examined at a training center for lower performance diagnostics or back pain. A complete clinical examination was performed on all horses at rest to determine the general conformation and alterations in posture, symmetry, and curvature of the spine. The horses were examined while walking and trotting in straight lines and circles to determine the presence of lameness and/or gait asymmetry. Spinal abnormalities on clinical examination were classified on a scale of 0 to 5 based on the following parameters: degree of response to pain from back palpation, hypertonicity of the back muscles, stiffness of the thoracolumbar joint, and physical dysfunction. After physical examination, ultrasound was performed to identify the cause of the thoracolumbar pain. The therapeutic protocol consisted of the intralesional application of ozonized PRP combined with therapeutic ultrasound, dynamic mobilization exercises, and therapeutic shoeing. All treated animals returned to sports activities at a higher level of performance than at the beginning of the treatment. Six months after treatment, telephone contact was made with the owner or trainer to determine if the back pain had relapsed. None of the animals relapsed during this period, and they participated in vaquejada normally |

Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar uma abordagem multimodal no tratamento da lombalgia em equinos utilizando plasma rico em plaquetas ozonizado, exercícios de mobilização dinâmica e ferrageamento terapêutico em quinze equinos da disciplina vaquejada. Quinze equinos da raça Quarto de Milha, praticantes da modalidade vaquejada no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, ambos os sexos, com idade média de 8,61 ± 1,73 anos, foram examinados em centro de treinamento para diagnóstico de baixo desempenho ou lombalgia. Exame clínico completo foi realizado em todos os equinos em repouso para determinar a conformação geral, alterações na postura, bem como simetria e curvatura da coluna vertebral. Os equinos foram examinados enquanto caminhavam e trotavam em linhas retas e círculos para determinar a presença de claudicação e/ou assimetrias de marcha. As anormalidades da coluna vertebral no exame clínico foram classificadas em uma escala de 0 a 5 com base nos parâmetros: grau de resposta da dor à palpação, hipertonia muscular, rigidez da articulação toracolombar e disfunção física. Após exame físico, foi realizada ultrassonografia para identificação da causa da dor toracolombar. O protocolo terapêutico consistiu na aplicação intralesional de PRP ozonizado associado ao uso de ultrassom terapêutico, exercícios de mobilização dinâmica e ferrageamento terapêutico. Todos os animais tratados voltaram às atividades esportivas com nível de desempenho superior ao demonstrado no início do tratamento. Seis meses após o tratamento, foi realizado contato telefônico com o proprietário ou treinador para saber se a lombalgia havia recidivado. Nenhum dos animais teve recidiva durante este período e estavam disputando provas de vaquejadas normalmente.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2021-11-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/121810.29374/2527-2179.bjvm003321Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 43 No. 1 (2021); e003321Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 43 n. 1 (2021); e0033212527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1218/1103https://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1218/1221Copyright (c) 2021 Ubiratan Pereira de Melo1, Cintia Ferreirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Melo1, Ubiratan PereiraFerreira, Cintia2022-06-27T12:36:12Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1218Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2022-06-27T12:36:12Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false |
