What are aspects of weight bearing?
Stout
straight
vertical
limits nr of gaits max running and walk -
What are aspects of propulsion?
Angulated bones
compressed joints
flexible spine
2 suspensions per stride in gallop -
How is the weight of a horse roughly distributed over the front or hind legs?
Front -
What are 6 directions of movement?
- cranial - caudal -> head - butt
- ventral - dorsal -> belly - back
- dorsal - palmar -> legs horse: front-back
-proximal-distal -> close-distant
-lateral - medial -> outwards - inwards
- anterior - posterior -> front-behind -
What are three planes of movement?
- frontal plane movement = coronal plane
- saggital plane movement = median plane, when in the middle
- transversal plane movement = horizontal plane -
Wherefor are frontal plane movements handy to recognize?
- Toed in or toed out
- lame horse
- gaits like appuyement/half-pass
-
What is a saggital plane movement (2 types)
Flexion - extension (angular motion)
- limbs
- spine
pro ( voorbeen naar voren) and retraction (voorbeen naar achteren) (general motion)
- shoulder + limb
- hip + limb -
What is the stance phase / swing phase? (2 possibilites)
Forward = stance phase retraction, swing phase protaction
backing up = stance phase protraction, swing phase rectration -
What is an name for transversal plane movement?
Lateroflexion (bending) of the spine -
What is the increase of speed?
The amplitude of the steps become larger and the durationof the limb cycle is reduced
