Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse.
In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes, show movement asymmetry adaptations consistent wit...
