  • 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
