SUMMARY:

Horses are used in several sports, show jumping being one of the most prominent, technical and athletic performance as a productive result. Conditions that lead these animals to decline their performance are directly related to economic loss. Horses are often affected by back pain, which is a major cause of poor athletic performance. Several therapeutic options are available for the treatment of animals suffering from back pain. Stretching has an analgesic effect and in the long run,  it can strengthen and hypertrophy the adjacent muscle tissue. Some technological devices are also used, such as a therapeutic bandage, which aims to prolong the stretching time while it is applied to the animal. The objective of the work was to evaluate two therapeutic protocols in animals with acute back pain, namely, stretching and stretching with functional therapeutic bandage. For this evaluation, a screening was carried out after the jumping competitions. Fifteen animals were used in training at the Riding Section of the Military Academy of Agulhas Negras. This evaluation consists of a complete clinical examination and pain evaluation, in which the presence of antalgic posture, muscular atrophy, morphological deviations, skin lesions caused by the saddle, palpation of areas sensitive to digital pressure, mobility tests, such as dorsoflexion, were evaluated. ventroflexion and lateroflexion, and evaluation during work, with abnormal lameness and behavior, punctuated in scores. According to the obtained results, the animals were divided into three groups: control, stretching, and stretching with functional therapeutic bandages. These groups were homogeneous with each other. The animals were reevaluated after seven days of therapeutic protocol and an analysis of the results was made between medical examinations performed before and after treatment. Stretching proved to be effective in the treatment of acute pain in jumping horses, as well as stretching with the application of functional therapeutic bandages. There was no statistical difference between the elongated animals with or without an applied bandage.
