Summary Considerations on the kinematics of the pelvic limbs of the horse Some joint diagrams change their trigonometric value; this occurs in different ways depending on the type of joint and on the forces acting on the joint during the walk and trot. The morphological specialities of the hip, stifle, hock and fetlock joints are compared to the special morphology of the joint types and to the change of movement in the vertical and horizontal planes during the walk and trot. An attempt is made to relate the changes in the trigonometric value of the excursion of the limb to the structural peculiarities of the joints and to the chronaxy differences of the flexor and extensor muscles.
