Characterization of a reversible lameness model in the horse

Abstract

The lameness was present throughout the measurement period, though the level of lameness lessened with time. The model may be applicable for evaluation of mechanisms to treat pain in the horse. The reason for the difference in treatment order needs to be identified.

Examination of toxicity and collagen linearity after the administration of the protein cross‐linker genipin in equine tendon and dermis: a pilot study

“…Transverse ultrasound was used to obtain the size of the tendon, the cross‐sectional fibre pattern and alignment (0–5 fibre pattern score) and to evaluate peritendinous structures. Lameness evaluation was performed using the American Association of Equine Practitioners’ (AAEP) lameness grading scale, as well as with a Lameness Locator (Equinosis LLC, Columbus, MO, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 30 days horses were euthanased and SDFTs removed to provide postmortem samples for histological analysis.…”
