Essentials of Clinical Anatomy of the Equine Locomotor System – Jean-Marie Denoix

Detailní popis produktu

A detailed understanding of equine anatomy is essential for recognising, assessing, and managing disorders of the locomotor system.

In Essentials of Clinical Anatomy of the Equine Locomotor System, renowned equine veterinarian and anatomist Jean-Marie Denoix brings together functional anatomy and clinical practice to explain the structures responsible for movement in the horse.

The book explores the relationships between bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and surrounding tissues, helping readers understand not only where anatomical structures are located, but also how they function and interact during locomotion.

With a strong emphasis on clinical relevance, this reference supports the study of equine musculoskeletal anatomy and its application to veterinary examination and the assessment of locomotor disorders.

Key Topics Covered

• Functional Anatomy – Detailed examination of the anatomical structures involved in equine movement.

• Bones and Joints – Understanding skeletal organisation, joint structures, and their roles in locomotion.

• Muscles, Tendons, and Ligaments – Exploring the soft tissues responsible for movement, stability, and support.

• Anatomical Relationships – Understanding how individual structures interact within the locomotor system.

• Clinical Anatomy – Connecting anatomical knowledge with veterinary examination and clinical findings.

• Locomotor Disorders – Building an anatomical foundation for understanding lameness and musculoskeletal injuries.

Connecting Anatomy with Clinical Practice

Rather than treating anatomy as a collection of isolated structures, Denoix presents the equine locomotor system as an interconnected functional whole.

Understanding these anatomical relationships is particularly important when evaluating movement, interpreting clinical findings, and identifying structures that may be involved in musculoskeletal problems.

The book helps bridge the gap between theoretical anatomical knowledge and its practical application in equine veterinary medicine.

Who Is This Book For?

This reference is particularly suitable for veterinarians, veterinary students, equine physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, and professionals working with equine musculoskeletal health.

It is also valuable for advanced students of equine anatomy and biomechanics who want to develop a more detailed understanding of the horse's locomotor system.

A specialised reference for understanding the anatomy behind equine movement, soundness, and musculoskeletal health.
