In this podcast, Dr Gillian Tabor reviews a paper that investigates the size of the deep spinal stability muscle, multifidus, in relation to chronic lameness. Whilst admitting a positive bias as to the topic of the paper, Gillian discusses the validity of the methodology and the results, as well as the outcome and the key take-home messages.
