RESEARCH ABOUT EVALUATION OF LOCOMOTORY SYSTEM OF SPORT EQUINE THROUGH DIGITAL INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
Abstract
The thermographic research has been made on a number of 16 sport equines,the majority of them were show jumping horses.Some of them were cliniccaly sound, others were presenting clinical signs of diferent locomotory injuries. Thus, thermography was used for valuation purposes of locomotory system, in some cases, and in others, these methode was very useful in assessing the localization and the extent of the patological process. At the same time, thermography was used to assess and to monitor the healing process of some old locomotory injuries , in few cases. Thermography proved to be a very sensitive and accurate methode of diagnosis , in the same time being less invasive ,very easy to apply in the field condition, and causing no stress or disconfort on examinated animals.
