O estudo permitiu concluir que a sensibilidade dos médicos veterinários e dos tutores para a importância da aplicação de protocolos de NRF precoces e intensivos tem vindo a crescer, o que aumenta a necessidade de existência de escalas funcionais de avaliação e monitorização de animais neurológicos.
Por sua vez, a EBNRF mostrou ser uma escala sensível quanto à funcionalidade e prática na avaliação e monitorização de cães com lesão toracolombar, classificados segundo a escala de Frankel Modificada, em 0, 1 e 2, pois permitiu a avaliação de todos os animais do estudo num curto espaço de tempo (40 a 60 minutos). Para além disso, a EBNRF mostrou-se útil por permitir a perceção rápida dos défices sensoriais e motores individuais e a mudança atempada dos protocolos de NRF de modo a estimular a regeneração neural ao ponto de atingir a funcionalidade, o que faz da EBNRF uma possível ferramenta operacional para todos os centros de NRF na conquista da regeneração neural.
Para além disso, o estudo permitiu concluir que numa fase inicial de NRF deve-se sugerir no mínimo 2 semanas de NRF, e se a evolução for abrupta existe uma grande possibilidade de o animal atingir a progressão para a funcionalidade, independentemente da presença de sensibilidade à dor profunda, demonstrando a complexidade do prognóstico de funcionalidade. Quanto à taxa e nível de recuperação funcional de cães com lesão toracolombar, através da escala desenvolvida, podemos concluir a eficácia dos protocolos de NRF aplicados na estimulação das propriedades da medula e no retorno à funcionalidade de 72,4% dos animais classificados, segundo a Escala de Frankel Modificada, em 0, 1 e 2.
