Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several anatomical variations and pathological changes in the equine cervical vertebral columns are known to cause pain-associated or neurologically mediated gait disorders (Kernot et al., 2022). Other variants are considered causes without evidence of their clinical relevance. Among these are the congenital anatomical variations or malformations of the sixth cervical (C6) to first thoracic (T1) vertebrae.
This Special Issue seeks to attract articles on causes, clinical indicators and implications of anatomical variations of the caudal cervical and cranial thoracic spine regions and on the treatment and management of horses affected to improve horse welfare and reduce wastage within the current equine industry.
