Soft tissues around the kneecap (patella) as a cause of equine lameness is an area yet to be scientifically investigated but that is often clinically treated with “alternative” methods without an established diagnosis. In human medicine, patellar tendinosis is a common verified diagnosis.
Degenerative changes with pathological neovascularization and nerve ingrowth into the patellar tendon is believed to be the pain origin, not inflammation. Veterinary literature is scant on comparative pathology, innervation of soft tissue surrounding the stifle, and diagnostics.
We have identified several horses with chronic push-off lameness (verified with objective motion analysis) where ultrasound detected patellar ligament lesions. The aim of the project is to investigate if patellar tendinosis is an equine condition using research competencies in biomechanics, diagnostic imaging, and pathology to produce clinical diagnostic tools and treatment recommendations based on a scientific foundation.
Mjukdelarna runt knäskålen (patella) som orsak till hälta hos häst är ett vetenskapligt outforskat område men som kliniskt ofta behandlas med "alternativa" metoder utan fastställd diagnos. Inom humanmedicinen är patellartendinosis en utbredd verifierad diagnos. Degenerativa förändringar med patologisk kärl- och nervinväxt i patellarsenan tros vara orsak till smärtan, inte inflammation. Motsvarande patologi, innervering av de olika mjukdelsstrukturerna runt knäleden samt diagnostik är dock knappt beskriven i veterinärmedicinsk litteratur. Vi har identifierat ett antal hästar med frånskjutshälta (verifierad med objektiv rörelseanalys) av kronisk karaktär där ultraljud visat skador på patellas band. Syftet med projektet är därför att undersöka om patellartendinos är ett ekvint sjukdomstillstånd med hjälp av hög forskningskompetens inom biomekanik, bilddiagnostik, samt patologi för att producera kliniska diagnostiska verktyg och behandlingsförslag baserat på en vetenskaplig grund.

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …
