If you want to improve your skills to apply appropriate therapies for horse injuries, don't think twice and join our community of students"

One of the main subjects of ongoing monitoring and concern among riders, trainers and equine veterinarians is the locomotion of the horse, as well as improving and maintaining performance or recovery after an injury. 

The veterinarian's knowledge in this area should not focus solely on mechanical factors, since locomotion does not occur independently of the neuroregulatory system, i.e., the nervous system, through a concept called motor control. Throughout this postgraduate certificate you will develop an in-depth understanding of what motor control is and how the motor and sensory system work together in the execution of movement, as well as in the maintenance of posture and balance in dynamic stability. 

Impaired motor control may trigger locomotor deficits, decreased performance or structural disorders. Therefore, we will discuss the factors responsible for this impairment and the pathophysiological mechanism triggered, as well as the importance of rehabilitation, since this does not occur by itself, not even when the cause of the impairment has been resolved. 

Historically, the post-injury rehabilitation process focused on the restoration of muscular strength and endurance and joint flexibility without addressing the role of neuromuscular mechanisms. It is now known that this simplified approach leads to a higher risk of injury and incomplete restoration of function, so it is vital to undertake specific professional development that takes into account neuromotor re-education.

This will provide a solid foundation to understand the fundamentals and application of active exercises and tools to establish an active therapeutic approach to restore function and structure and effectively design and develop training and re-education programs based on clinical and scientific findings.

This postgraduate certificate provides students with specialist tools and skills to enhance their professional practice, and key competencies such as knowledge of the day-to-day work of the veterinary professional, and responsibility in the monitoring and supervision of their work, as well as communication skills for effective teamwork.
