Abstract
The morphology of the bones of the equine tarsus has distinct kinematical and kinetic implications which are primarily expressed in the helical motion of the talocrural joint and in the transmission of forces by the rigid conformation of the subtalar articulations.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
