The effect of incline on centre of mass movement and mechanical energy fluctuation. Journal of Experimental Biology, 211(6), 945-956. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.006692During locomotion on an incline, mechanical work is performed to move an animal up the slope and increase the potential energy ( PE) of the trunk and hence the centre of mass ( CoM). Thus, at a given speed the total net mechanical work increases with... Read More about High-speed gallop locomotion in the Thoroughbred racehorse. II.

PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0221117Quantitative gait analysis has revealed that a large proportion of horses in training, perceived as free from lameness by their owners, show movement asymmetries of equal magnitude to horses with mild clinical lameness. Whether these movement asymmet... Read More about Effect of meloxicam treatment on movement asymmetry in riding horses in training.
