[Video] How Uneven Feet Affect Locomotion
Left-right symmetrical distal limb conformation can be an important prerequisite for a successful performance, and it is often believed that asymmetric or uneven feet are important enhancing factors for the development of lameness. On a population level, it has been demonstrated that uneven footed horses are retiring earlier from elite level competition, but the biomechanical consequences are not yet known.
In this presentation, University of Central Lancashire biomechanics researcher Sarah Jane Hobbs will compare the functional locomotor asymmetries of horses with uneven feet to those with even feet. Her presentation will reveal fascinating results gained through hoof kinetics and limb kinematics.
