An investigation into the effect of increasing rider weight on the horses’ metacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, metatarsal, metatarsophalangeal joint flexions and stride length in walk and trot.

The ethical weight bearing capacity of horses has been under scrutiny through equine professionals, veterinary surgeons, coaches, judges and riders for many years. Literature within this area is limited. The average weight of people in the UK is rising research…
An investigation into the influence of trained turning direction on passive range of motion, and static weight distribution in the forelimbs of dogs that compete in flyball

in dogs, range of motion
Participating in flyball is thought to pose higher risk of injury to the forelimbs, especially during high velocity turns performed in the same direction (either left or right). This study investigated whether turning direction on the flyball box influences passive…

A preliminary investigation into laterality differences of range of motion during flexion and extension of canine proximal limb joints Research into musculoskeletal imbalance and laterality differences of limb joint range of motion (ROM) in canines is limited. Bilateral ROM measures…
A preliminary study to investigate the range of motion of the proximal limb joints and relationships to British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club (BVA/KC) hip score in dogs.

Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases in dogs and often show minimal clinic signs
Passive joint ROM demonstrates integrity of the joint without influence of muscle activity.
Dogs with a higher BVA/KC hip score on one side may predispose to an increased measured extension range of that hip joint and the contralateral forelimb elbow extension.
