Biomechanics of Forelimb
Veterinary AnatomyIn terrestrial mammals, the forelimbs bear the greater load both while rest and during locomotion. Their main function is to stabilize and…
Biomechanics of Trunk
Veterinary AnatomyConstruction of the body axis can be more accurately compared with the “Bow and String” theory to understand Biomechanics of Trunk.
Statics and Dynamics
Veterinary AnatomyBiomechanics includes the principles of statics and dynamics. Dynamics refers to the movement of the body parts during locomotion.
Definition and History of Biomechanics
Veterinary AnatomyBiomechanics is the branch of science which deals with the application of mechanical principles to the biological systems like human, animals
Coffin Joint of hindlimb
Veterinary AnatomyEach Coffin Joint of hindlimb is a ginglymus formed between the second and third phalanges and the distal sesamoid.
Pastern Joint of hindlimb
Veterinary AnatomyOx The proximal interphalangeal articulations are two for each limb. Each is ginglymus formed between the first and second phalanges. It has a glenoid fibro cartilage behind, kept in position by ligament and confounded with the tendon of the superficial flexor. Ligaments The capsular ligament Abaxial collateral ligament extends from axial face of distal extremity of first phalanx
Fetlock joint of hindlimb
Veterinary AnatomyThere are two Fetlock joint of hindlimb for each limb. Each is a ginglymus formed between the distal extremity of the large metacarpal…
Hock joint
Veterinary AnatomyTibio tarsal articulation, Proximal tarsal articulations, Inter tarsal articulations, Distal tarsal articulations, Tarso-metatarsal articulations
Tibio-fibular joint
Veterinary AnatomyThe bony fibula is replaced by a ligament for most of its extent and thus the proper tibio-fibular articulation is absent
Stifle Joint
Veterinary AnatomyThe stifle joint is composite joint composed of- Femoro-patellar articulation and Femoro-tibial articulation.
