Resumo(s)
O dorso, frequentemente subestimado pelos donos e treinadores de equinos, é de
importância capital no bom decorrer das suas actividades de eleição. Trata-se do conjunto
das estruturas anatómicas músculo-esqueléticas das regiões cervical, torácica, lombar,
sagrada e, por proximidade, sacroilíaca. Apesar de não convencional, a integração da região
cervical no estudo das dorsalgias tem-se mostrado de grande importância na biomecânica e
cinética do resto do dorso. Frente a um equino que sofre de dorsalgia, o médico veterinário
deve elaborar uma estratégia que permita, dentro de um problema locomotor, isolar a parte
de sofrimento dorsal. Os sinais clínicos observados, geralmente subjectivos e a falta de
conhecimento sobre a maioria das patologias dificultam a avaliação destas causas de
sofrimento. No entanto, o desenvolvimento e a melhoria das técnicas de imagiologia médica
melhoram a precisão do diagnóstico sobre estruturas anatómicas cujo tamanho e
acessibilidade não favorecem o exame clínico directo. Em seguida, a conduta terapêutica
impõe, numa preocupação de eficácia, a associação e a complementaridade de técnicas
médicas e paramédicas, como a fisioterapia. Deve ainda realçar-se o papel essencial que
desempenham os exercícios de musculação na reabilitação e na prevenção de alterações
dorsais.
ABSTRACT - Medical and physical therapeutic management of equine back pain - The back, often underestimated by the owners and trainers of equines is of primary importance in the prosper course of their activity of choice. The back includes all anatomical musculoskeletal structures of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacred, by proximity, sacroiliac areas. Although non-conventional, the integration of cervical region in the study of back pain has proven to very important in biomechanics and kinetics of the whole back. Dealing with an animal suffering from back pain, the veterinarian must develop a strategy to isolate the dorsal part of suffering within a locomotor problem. Clinical signs usually subjective and lack of knowledge about most diseases pose some difficulties to the evaluation of these causes of pain. However, the development and improvement of medical imaging techniques help to the accuracy of the diagnosis of anatomical structures which size and accessibility complicate a direct clinical examination. Then, caring for the best efficiency, the therapeutic imposes the combination and complementarity of both approaches, medical and paramedical, such as physical therapy. It should also be noted the essential role of muscle-training exercises in rehabilitation and prevention dorsal changes.
