Abstract
La especialidad de fisioterapia y rehabilitación veterinaria ha adquirido una importancia creciente experimentando un constante desarrollo en las últimas décadas. Prueba de ello es la aparición de varios cursos de postgrado en diferentes universidades veterinarias o la creación del American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation en 2010. En términos generales, esta especialidad se ha nutrido de los protocolos de medicina humana sin existir una base científica sólida, por lo que las publicaciones científicas en el campo veterinario, aunque han ido incrementando recientemente, son aún escasas. Por lo tanto, son necesarios estudios que exploren tratamientos, protocolos y métodos de valoración funcional en veterinaria. En la clínica equina, la fisioterapia se ha centrado en gran medida en la rehabilitación de lesiones musculoesqueléticas, donde los problemas de dorso son una de las principales causas de disminución del rendimiento en caballos de deporte. Su etiología suele ser multifactorial y su presentación hace difícil un diagnóstico claro. Basándonos en el modelo de medicina humana, donde se ha demostrado el papel vital que juega la musculatura multífida en la estabilidad dinámica de la columna y en el desarrollo de patologías, se han comenzado a describir diferentes programas de ejercicios en caballos con el objetivo de mejorar la estabilidad y el control motor del raquis. Aunque algunos han demostrado ser efectivos, aún se necesitan muchos estudios que pongan de manifiesto la aplicación clínica de estos protocolos y su metodología exacta de aplicación en medicina equina...
In recent decades veterinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation has become increasingly important, undergoing a constant development. Proof of this is the appearance of several postgraduate courses in several veterinary colleges or the creation of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2010. Generally, human medicine protocols are extrapolated into veterinary medicine, without a solid scientific base. Although research in this field is becoming more popular, there is still a lack of publications in veterinary medicine. Therefore, a large number of scientific studies are needed in order to explore treatments, protocols and functional assessment methods in veterinary medicine. Equine physiotherapy has focus primary on musculoskeletal injuries rehabilitation. Within this topic, back pain is considered to be one of the main causes of lack of performance in sport horses. Etiology is usually multifactorial and symptoms made it difficult to diagnose. Based on the human model, where multifidus muscles are proven to play a key role in spine dynamic stabilization and back pain problems, different equine exercises training programs have been described to improve spine stability and motor control. Although some of them have proven to be efficient, more studies are needed to justify their clinical relevance and specific methodology for the equine clinics. In human medicine, abdominal electro-stimulation has proven to have an effect on the stability muscles of the spine. Due to this fact and because the difficulty of executing a voluntary exercise program in the horse, numerous specialists have used abdominal muscular electro-stimulation as a way to train back postural muscles in the horse. However, there is a lack of papers in the field of muscular electro-stimulation in the horse, and we have not found studies that validate its effect over muscle force, fatigue or back stability...
