Document Summary
How to musculoskeletal system (bones and non-ossified connective tissue) works together to move a horse. Kinetics vs. kinematics: kinematics study of movement, which describes the 3-dimensional linear and angular displacement of limbs. Animated conformation (how horse is put together and limbs move in space: kinetics the study of forces that are generated or absorbed to cause or resist movement. Take into account the forces acting on limbs (cause or resist movement) Forces come from the ground, gravity, tendons. Lameness detection: avoid catastrophic injuries, determine effectiveness of treatments. Identify good candidates before training want good quality biomechanics of movement: most trainable gait = trot, canter and walk are biomechanically linked (not particularly adaptable) U(cid:374) a(cid:449)a(cid:455) f(cid:396)o(cid:373) p(cid:396)edato(cid:396)s fast: lengthening stride (anatomical adaptations) Migrate (in order to eat: maintain stride frequency. To be energetically efficient with movement (continue low grade utilization of energy to. Lengthening the stride find food all the time)
