Influence of Muscle-Tendon Wrapping on Calculations of Joint Reaction Forces in the Equine Distal Forelimb

Figure 6

Magnitudes of calculated joint reaction force components from long bones and sesamoid bones in the coffin and fetlock joints for walking and trotting during the stance phase of the stride. The magnitudes are shown as solid lines with grey shading to represent ±1 SD. The stance phase of the stride was the time during which the vertical component of the ground reaction force was greater than 50 N. 0% of stride was the time of first hoof-ground contact, while 100% of stride was the time of last hoof-ground contact.
