Abstract
Equines depend on normal cervical motion to aid in locomotion, balance, gait efficiency, respiration and to adjust load on the limbs. Cervical pain in horses, therefore, is associated with changes in gait and decreased performance. Presenting signs may include: resistance to turning, lameness not localized in the distal limb, poor performance, abnormal gait, loss of power, incoordination and ataxia. While there have been an increasing number of studies on the equine neck, none have addressed changes in muscle mass or range of motion with cervical pain.
