Distal Limb Lameness in the Sport Horse: A Clinical Approach to Diagnosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Diagnosis of lameness caused by lesions of the distal limb requires a thorough clinical examination, including careful palpation, manipulative tests, hoof tester evaluation, examination of the horse in hand and under saddle, and regional anesthesia. Specific causative lesions may require technical imaging modalities to fully evaluate.

It is rarely possible by evaluation of gait alone to identify accurately the source of pain causing lameness, although a combination of clinical signs may lead the clinician to suspect a site of pain. It is only th...
