Fig. 3. Joint moments (relative to body mass) are presented. (A) Observed moments
at the hip for each of the test animals. Each curve represents the mean of the
trials for that animal, with the number of trials ranging between five and
eight for the different animals. The five curves are very similar across
animals. (B) Moments for the MP (metatarsophalangeal), ankle, knee and hip
joints of the hind limb. Each curve represents the mean of 29 trials (solid
line) ± S.D. (shaded area) across all horses. For both
plots, positive values represent extensor moments and negative values
represent flexor moments for each joint.
