Establishing a Veterinary Anatomy core syllabus through a modified Delphi process. (2023)
Journal Article
Gummery, E., Singh, M., & Channon, S. B. (2023). Establishing a Veterinary Anatomy core syllabus through a modified Delphi process. Journal of Anatomy, 244(1), 184-201. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.13948

Anatomy forms a key component of veterinary curricula, but, in the context of an evolving profession, curricula are adapting and changing accordingly. There is a lack of guidance for educators regarding the levels of anatomical knowledge required for...

Anatomy in practice: how do equine and production animal veterinarians apply anatomy in primary care settings? (2022)
Journal Article
Homfray, B., Attwood, A., & Channon, S. B. (2022). Anatomy in practice: how do equine and production animal veterinarians apply anatomy in primary care settings?. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme-2022-0074

To successfully prepare veterinary undergraduates for the workplace, it is critical that anatomy educators consider the context in which developing knowledge and skills will be applied. This study aimed to establish how farm animal and equine general... Read More about Anatomy in practice: how do equine and production animal veterinarians apply anatomy in primary care settings?.

Effect of gamified perceptual learning on visual detection and discrimination skills in equine gait assessment (2021)
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., Miles, G. C., Channon, S. B., & May, S. A. (2021). Effect of gamified perceptual learning on visual detection and discrimination skills in equine gait assessment. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.21

Background: Visual assessment of equine lameness is an everyday veterinary task suffering from poor diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of the perceptual learning game 'LamenessTrainer' on skill development. Methods:...

Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) (2019)
Journal Article
Channon, S. B., Young, I. S., Cordner, B., & Swann, N. (2019). Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus). Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.182741

In rapidly growing animals there are numerous selective pressures and developmental constraints underpinning the ontogenetic development of muscle-tendon morphology and mechanical properties. Muscle force generating capacity, tendon stiffness, elasti... Read More about Ontogenetic scaling of pelvic limb muscles, tendons and locomotor economy in the Ostrich (Struthio camelus).

Structural characteristics and predicted functional capacities of epaxial muscles in chondrodystrophic and non-chondrodystrophic dogs with and without suspected intervertebral disc herniation- a preliminary study (2019)
Journal Article
Boström, A., Channon, S. B., Jokinen, T. S., Junnila, J., Hielm-Bjorkman, A. K., & Laitinen-Vapaavuori, O. (2019). Structural characteristics and predicted functional capacities of epaxial muscles in chondrodystrophic and non-chondrodystrophic dogs with and without suspected intervertebral disc herniation- a preliminary study. Research in Veterinary Science, 123, 204-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rvsc.2019.01.008

Epaxial muscle atrophy is related to spinal diseases in dogs. However, the influence of intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) on the functional capacity of epaxial muscles has not been investigated. We aimed to estimate force and power-generating cap...

Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer? Evaluating “Geoff”, a Painted Anatomical Horse, as a Tool for Enhancing Topographical Anatomy Learning (2018)
Journal Article
Bietzk, E., Weller, R., Simons, V., & Channon, S. B. (2018). Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer? Evaluating “Geoff”, a Painted Anatomical Horse, as a Tool for Enhancing Topographical Anatomy Learning. Anatomical Sciences Education, https://doi.org/10.1002/ase.1823

Development of new methods for anatomy teaching is increasingly important as we look to modernize and supplement traditional teaching methods. In this study, a life‐sized equine model, “Geoff” was painted with surface and deep anatomical structures w... Read More about Anatomy Teaching, a “Model” Answer? Evaluating “Geoff”, a Painted Anatomical Horse, as a Tool for Enhancing Topographical Anatomy Learning.

What use is anatomy in first opinion small animal veterinary practice? A qualitative study
Journal Article
Wheble, R., & Channon, S. (in press). What use is anatomy in first opinion small animal veterinary practice? A qualitative study. Anatomical Sciences Education, https://doi.org/10.1002/ase.1995

Despite the uncontested importance of anatomy as one of the foundational aspects of undergraduate veterinary programs, there is still limited information available as to what anatomy knowledge is most important for the graduate veterinarian in their...

Comparative functional anatomy of the epaxial musculature of dogs (Canis familiaris) bred for sprinting vs. fighting
Journal Article
Webster, E. L., Hudson, P. E., & Channon, S. B. (in press). Comparative functional anatomy of the epaxial musculature of dogs (Canis familiaris) bred for sprinting vs. fighting. Journal of Anatomy, 225(3), 317-327. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12208

The axial musculoskeletal system of quadrupedal mammals is not currently well understood despite its functional importance in terms of facilitating postural stability and locomotion. Here we examined the detailed architecture of the muscles of the ve...
