Position of the Proximal Manica Flexoria under different grades of fetlock joint extension - A biomechanical observational study in the equine fore- and hindlimb.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to examine the position of the proximal manica flexoria and the proximal scutum under different grades of fetlock joint extension and to describe measurements and compare findings between equine fore- and hindlimbs.

Study Design:  It was an observational study.

Results:  During fetlock joint extension, the proximal manica flexoria and the proximal scutum displace distally relative to the palmar/plantar extent of the sagittal ridge of the cannon bone.
