Effects of 6 degree elevation of the heels on 3D kinematics of the distal portion of the forelimb in the walking horse.

Reasons for performing study Understanding of the biomechanical effects of heel elevation remains incomplete because in vivo studies performed with skin markers do not measure the actual movements of the 3 digital joints.Objective To quantify the effects of 6 degree heel wedge on the 3-dimensional m...
