“…Principalmente esta rehabilitación se caracteriza por: ejercicio terapéutico, agentes físicos, ejercicios funcionales y terapia manual las cuales muestran tener un alto nivel de efectividad en este tipo de patologías. (Feeney, y otros, 2007;Levine, Marcellin Little, Millis, Tragauer, & Osborne, 2010;Mueller, Bockstahler, Skalicky, Mlacnik, & Lorinson, 2007;Nganvongpanit, Kongsawasdi, Chuatrakoon, & Yano, 2011;Sullivan, Gordon Evans, Knap, & Evans, 2013;Waining, Young, & Williams, 2011) Los procesos de rehabilitación en perros y gatos han demostrado índices de confiabilidad y validez altos en cuanto a la recuperación funcional de esta población. Por ejemplo, se ha visto un aumento en la capacidad de locomoción de perros con alteraciones neuromusculares que después de sesiones de fisioterapia aumentan su capacidad para realizar el patrón de marcha de manera más efectiva.…”

Introducción: la medicina veterinaria, es un campo de conocimiento que integra diversas áreas profesionales para su desarrollo, es así como se ha reportado evidencia en relación a la participación de fisioterapeutas en procesos de rehabilitación de animales que presentan algún tipo de patología que afecte su funcionalidad. Objetivo: realizar una revisión de la literatura con relación a las intervenciones fisioterapéuticas realizadas en perros y gatos con alteraciones osteomusculares y neuromusculares. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una revisión de la literatura, búsqueda en bases de datos como: Ebsco, Pedro, Hinari, Elsevier, Science Direct, Springer y Medline que contemplaran los siguientes criterios de inclusión: estudios publicados del año 2000 al 2016, literatura con los siguientes términos DeCS: dogs, cats, veterinary medicine, rehabilitation, animals. Resultados: se obtuvo información en relación a la intervención fisioterapéutica en perros y gatos, se ha reportado el uso de agentes físicos para el tratamiento de lesiones agudas a través de modalidades como crioterapia, termoterapia, ultrasonido y electroestimulación ; el uso de estos agentes físicos ayuda al manejo de dolor, disminución del edema, aumento del rango movimiento y reducción de la espasticidad, además de eso se reporta que el ejercicio terapéutico y terapia manual tienen efectos significativos en el retorno a las actividades de la vida diaria de estos animales. Conclusiones: la fisioterapia en animales está indicada para procesos agudos y crónicos como lesiones osteomusculares y neuromusculares, esta se realiza a través de medios físicos y ejercicio terapéutico enfocándose en actividades funcionales de movimiento.

“…The Canine Brief Pain Index was initially adapted from a commonly used human CMI (Cleeland & Ryan 1994, Brown et al 2009) and has since been validated for use in canine OA by comparing questionnaires responses between OA and non-OA groups (Brown et al 2007, Brown et al 2008, Sullivan et al 2013 and osteosarcoma in 2009 (Brown et al 2009, Brown et al 2013. The CBPI measures 11 different items, with domains varying from pain severity (0 to 10), pain interference with function (0 to 10) and QoL (0 to 5).…”

Mobility impairments associated with musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, affect approximately 200,000 dogs annually and pose a notable challenge to canine health and welfare. Osteoarthritis causes the remodelling of synovial joints, alongside inflammation and impaired mechanical function which can be extremely debilitating. Secondary osteoarthritis commonly affects dogs and can be exacerbated by previous joint abnormalities, such as patellar luxation or cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Although musculoskeletal diseases can affect dogs of any age, the early subtle signs of gait abnormalities are perhaps missed by owners, thus, dogs may be in the latter stages of osteoarthritis progression when they are presented to veterinarians. Dogs showing subtle signs of gait abnormalities must be presented to veterinary practices for acute diagnosis to prevent long‐term deterioration. Musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, are commonly diagnosed via visible radiographic changes. However, veterinarians can use a combination of subjective and objective clinical scoring systems, such as clinical metrology instruments and gait assessment in conjunction with radiography to aid their diagnosis and longitudinal monitoring of musculoskeletal diseases. These scoring systems may be more sensitive to earlier signs of mobility impairments in dogs, ultimately, promoting increased canine health and welfare by enabling pain reduction, improvement of muscle strength and preservation of joint function. Current canine mobility scoring systems available to veterinarians will be discussed in turn throughout this review for implementation into clinical practice.

“…Two randomised controlled trials investigated the efficacy of PEMT in dogs with OA (Pinna et al 2013, Sullivan et al 2013. Sullivan et al (2013) compared treatment with PEMT for 1 hour on 9 consecutive days in 35 dogs with an untreated control group of 24 dogs. The PEMT group had lower CBPI scores at assessment timepoints of 11 and 42 days.…”

Osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative disease process that affects a significant proportion of the canine population, impacting these animals' quality of life. Currently, there is no cure and treatment consists of managing the clinical signs of pain and reduced mobility. There are many treatments for canine osteoarthritis and in this review we discuss the evidence base behind non‐pharmaceutical, non‐surgical treatments of this disease. These treatments include weight management, nutraceuticals, acupuncture, physiotherapies such as therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy as well as other therapeutic modalities including photobiomodulation therapy, electromagnetic field therapy and others.
