description The field rehabilitation in veterinary medicine has expanded over the past ten years. Animals with disorders in the musculoskeletal system are often treated. The methods used lack sufficient scientific documentation; however claim to affect the animal's function in a positive way. In order to investigate the efficacy of different rehabilitation modalities, it is important to use validated evaluation tolls. Therefore, a literature study on pain, pain-scales and functional test was performed together a pilot study on a functional test. The aim of the present pilot-study was to investigate a functional test, "Bioarth functional evaluation scale", used in veterinary medicine. The test was introduced at the "International symposium on rehabilitation and physical therapy in veterinary medicine" in the Netherlands in 2006, and can be used as a complement to the clinical examination. The test has earlier been investigated on healthy dogs, and was shown to have high inter- and intratester reliability. The test was also considered easy to perform. In the present study, we investigated dogs with osteoarthros. The test was easy to perform, but the evaluation of the test was considered somewhat difficult as the grading of the functional deficits was considered to diffuse. Despite this, the test results were highly consentient both between evaluators, and within the same evaluator when evaluated twice. Further, the evaluators stated that the test may be of more value when evaluating younger dogs with a welllocated injury, then older dogs with multiple joint diseases. Finally, some suggestions for improvement of the test have been added to the study.
