I suggest going directly to the source for accuracy.
Dr Redden's site is www.nanric.com.
Click on "Dr Reddens's Notes" in the menue to find an article on the biomechanics behind the "Rock and Roll" shoe, (commonly termed banana Shoe). Patty

Hi,
I don't know if you are just interested in what banana's are, or actually plan on using them.
For me the banana's are pretty new too, but worked out amazingly good. However the concept you'll get to learn reading Redden's site and lots of other info you'll find on the Web when you look for banana's + equine, has drawbacks too. In my humble opinion the biggest is loss of palmair support as a result of which the SDFT and the suspensory tendon need to work that much harder.
Ways around this problem have been suggested, but almost everything lacks the biggest asset of the banana, reduction of DDFT pull from a specific spot in the saggital plane.
Anyway before I get carried away -it truly is a great concept- do some reading!

Just a little addendum on the banana here.
Loss of palmair support is in cases with a high radiographic palmar angle, (e.g. clubfoot) one of its assets rather than a draw back.
In Redden's view, if I understand him correctly, the banana enables the horse to position it's DIP joint in a most favoured angle. (Hence the name 'Rock and Roll shoe')
As I pointed out I personally worry a little about the loss of palmar support especially when banana's are used on performance horses, rather than a therapeutic aid.

I went to a Bob Skradizo clinic years ago and he called this shoe (Redden's Banna Shoe) a ringbone shoe. The shoe has been around for a long time.
