• Resumen

  • In order to recognize abnormalities on the physical evaluation, it is mandatory to understand normal developmental variations of the musculoskeletal system.

    Many abnormalities are self-limiting and, therefore, it is important to recognize which problems require intervention for a successful outcome and which may be complicated by treatment.

    Physical evaluation of the musculoskeletal system in foals is routinely performed on newborns as a component of an after-foaling examination, or for lameness or conformation evaluation in foals of all ages.
