Kinematic characteristics of hoof landing in jumping horses at elite level

Hernlund, Elin; Egenvall, Agneta; Roepstorff, Lars

Sammanfattning

The landing and braking characteristics of the hooves varied substantially between hind-, fore-, trailing and leading limbs. Developing mechanical testing devices for arena surfaces, this fairly wide range of biomechanical events must be considered, in order to simulate the horse-surface interaction.
