Abstract

The purchase evaluation of 23 horses was conducted and the physical examination was done using the Western methods for examination of the Musculoskeletal System, and the Chinese Acupuncture Palpation Diagnosis. There was a 52.17% diagnostic agreement. Considering some different diagnoses as a result of the differences in interpreting the obtained signs, and having both methods used by an experienced practitioner in a complementary way, the confidence for resulting in a clear clinical condition of the evaluated horses would be 86.96%.
