Modulating Osteoarthritis Chronic Pain with Sensory Stimuli
Researchers will investigate if chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis has a neuropathic pain component that can be modulated by pleasant and unpleasant sensory stimuli.
Validating Pain Assessment Tool for Osteoarthritis
Researchers will validate an owner questionnaire designed to help them recognize and monitor the signs of chronic osteoarthritis pain in horses to improve care for horses suffering from this condition.
Assessing Equine Lameness
Researchers will quantify how horses adapt muscle function and limb and upper body movements to cope with lameness, providing a greater understanding of clinical signs that can guide assessment and earlier intervention.
Using Stem Cells for Persistent Orthopedic Infections
Researchers will determine if stem cells from horse bone marrow can reduce bacterial biofilm formation and associated inflammation that cause treatment failure and tissue damage in horses with orthopedic infections.
Evaluating How Exercise Impacts Bone Development
Researchers will evaluate the long-term effects of an early exercise intervention on bone development in foals.
