The meeting centered around addressing the inconsistencies in equine back pain diagnosis through standardized practices. Jodie Daglish led the presentation, which stressed the importance of comprehensive assessments, including both passive and active range of motion tests, while considering breed-specific responses and biomechanical nuances. The initiative aims to develop resources (e.g., reference videos, guidelines) to improve practitioner knowledge and reduce unnecessary surgical procedures. Continued collaboration will help foster better diagnostic accuracy and care quality.
