Diseases of the back of horse and man are not comparable owing to the great difference in anatomy and posture. Veterinary surgeons, particularly in the United Kingdom, are often requested to account for a poor performance due to suspected "back trouble" but a complete examination of the horse's back is most difficult and care must be taken first to exclude any limb or foot lesions. Diseases of the bones, nerves and muscles are briefly discussed. Diagnosis must be improved by new radiographic and biochemical tests before the significance of back lesions can be assessed or even treated.
由于马和人的解剖结构及姿势存在巨大差异，马和人的背部疾病不可相提并论。兽医，尤其是在英国，经常被要求解释因疑似“背部问题”导致的表现不佳，但对马的背部进行全面检查非常困难，必须首先注意排除任何肢体或足部病变。本文简要讨论了骨骼、神经和肌肉疾病。在评估甚至治疗背部病变的意义之前，必须通过新的放射学和生化检查来改善诊断。
