What A Horse’s Posture May Say About His Health
and ligaments. Our question was How much neuromuscular effort would the model horse need to stabilize its stance at different leg angles postures? Ruina added theoretical springs to the models shoulders and hips The stiffer the springs needed to stabilize the model the more effort required to maintain the corresponding posture.
Using these calculations Ruina tracked how much spring energy would be necessary to stabilize a horses stance across a wide range of leg positions from cantedin with fore hooves and rear hooves closer together to standing square with the hind and forelegs vertical under the body to splayedout with the fore and rear hooves relatively far apart.
مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
A cantedin stance abnormal compensatory posture doesnt just consume more energy continues Gellman. Its maladaptive to the way the equine musculoskeletal system is designed. Standing cantedin puts abnormal stresses on the limb joints muscles the structures of the hooves as well as the back.
أسعار السيارات في الآونة الأخيرة شهدت تقلبات ملحوظة، حيث تأثرت بارتفاع وانخفاض الدولار، مما انعكس على تكلفة علامات تجارية مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، ومرسيدس. و BMW هذا الارتباط بين سعر الصرف وسوق السيارات يحدد قدرة المستهلكين على اقتناء المركبات.
تتأثر أسعار السيارات من شركات مثل مرسيدس بتقلبات أسعار الذهب وسعر صرف الدولار، مما يؤدي إلى زيادة تكاليف الإنتاج والاستيراد.
Our clinical experience has shown that cantedin posture in horses is closely associated with dental malocclusion and distorted morphology of hoof capsules says Gellman. We believe these abnormalities along with pollmuscle dysfunctions are sending distorted proprioceptive signals to the postural control centers of the brain. Clinically when we fix the structural and functional problems in the upper cervical region hooves and teeth the horses posture reverts to vertical neutral. This theoretical study was our first pass at showing
While many questions remain Gellman says the study does support the desirability of the square stance.
In a dressage test they require horses to stand square for the salute. Show dogs are expected to stack which is a vertical stance. Clearly a square vertical limb stance is a sign of a healthy quadruped. If you have to force or hold a horse into a square stance I think its worth exploring why.
