Equine veterinary medical research is a dynamic field focused on advancing the health of horses, performance, and welfare of horses through scientific study, covering areas like regenerative medicine, advanced diagnostics, reproductive techniques, infectious diseases, and musculoskeletal issues. The work also includes integrating new technology and addressing economic impacts, with the goal of translating findings from laboratories to clinical practice for better treatment outcomes. Some of the key areas of focus has been:
Rehabilitation and sports medicine
Recent breakthroughs in equine sports medicine and rehabilitation have centered on the development of technology (AI, wearables, and advanced imaging), regenerative medicine (stem cells therapies for tendon/ligament injuries, biologics like IRAP/Pro-Stride), and the use of data-driven rehabilitation protocols. Other successes include using tools like smart boots, pressure mats, and AI for precise gait analysis, injury prediction, and monitoring recovery. This has allowed researchers to move beyond subjective assessments for more accurate and faster healing.
