The role of tendon stiffness in development of equine locomotion with age

Summary Reasons for performing study: The flexor tendons support the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints during stance phase and since tendon stiffness and strain changes with age, it is likely that kinematics are also age‐dependent. Hypothesis: Maximum MCP and DIP angl...
