rhomboid |
deep, under trapezius cervical vert.→ upper scapula raises scapula, moves scapula forward, raises neck |
|
rhomboid dysfunction |
cinchy, sore withers/top of neck, shortened stride, can't pick up/ change leads, low front leg power |
|
rhomboid pain causes |
excessive rein pressure, jump landing, sudden forward movement, poor saddle fit, tie downs |
|
cervical serratus |
deep, under lat. dorsi cerv. vert.→ top of scapula |
|
thoracic serratus |
deep, under lat. dorsi ribs→ inside scapula lifts front leg, arches neck |
|
serratus dysfunction |
cinchy, pain when under saddle poor saddle fit, Scapula can't move correctly |
|
deep pectoral |
deep adducts leg |
|
deep pectoral dysfunction |
caused by too tight cinch |
|
infraspinatus |
deep caudal edge scapula→ humerus extends shoulder, flexes shoulder joint, abducts, prevents shoulder dislocation |
|
infraspinatus dysfunction |
shortened stride, shoulder lameness |
|
longissimus dorsi |
deep, includes long. cervicis, thoracis, lumboram, spinalis, semispinalis thoracic & lumbar spinous processes flexes back horizontally, vertically |
|
medial gluteal |
deep end of longissimus→ top of femur moves body forward, extends leg backwards(kicking), allows rearing |
|
medial gluteal dysfunction |
loss of hind end power, unwilling to extend hind leg forward/ backward |
|
quadriceps |
deep innominate→ top of femur flexes hip, brings hindleg forward under body |
|
gastrocnemius |
deep femur lateral head→ calcaneus extends tarsus, flexes stifle joint |
|
splenius |
superficial skull mastoid process→ cerv., thoracic vert. Straightens neck, raises neck, bends neck to the side |
|
splenius dysfunction |
resists turning head, lowered head/ stretching at rest, resist turning to opposite side of pain |
|
splenius dysfunction causes |
pulling back when tied, quick starts, stops, changes in direction, pulling against bit, collecting, flexing head /neck, pulling On reins |
|
trapezius |
superficial cervical, mid thoracic vert.→ top of scapula raises scapula, moves scapula forward & back |
|
trapezius dysfunction |
decreased front leg, can't pickup/ change leads, shortened stride, sore withers, cinchy |
|
trapezius dysfunction causes |
bouncing rider, poor saddle fit, quick starts, stops, change in direction, jump landing, gaited horses |
|
brachiocephalic |
superficial base of skull, CI→ lower humerus moves front leg forward, adducts front leg, bends head& neck |
|
brachiocephalis dysfunction |
neck stretched to side Or up, difficulty circling, picking up correct lead for affected side |
|
brachiocephalis dysfunction causes |
pulling back when tied, sudden stops, turns, neck/ shoulder twisting, driving, neck collection& flexion |
|
deltoid |
superficial dorsal edge scapula→ humerus head flexes shoulder joint |
|
triceps |
superficial Scapula, olecranon process→ upper humerus flexes shoulder, extends & locks elbow |
|
triceps dysfunction |
shortened Stride, extended foot lameness, stand with knee bent at rest, gaited horses, sprinting/ eventing horses |
|
superficial pectoral |
superficial sternum→ end of humerus adducts front leg, moves forward |
|
transverse pectoral |
superficial Sternum→ mid humerus adducts front leg |
|
brachialis |
superficial head of humerus→ top of radius flexes elbow |
|
extensor carpi radialis |
superficial, most medial leg extensor end of humerus→ cannon bone extends carpus, flexes elbow |
|
common digital extensor |
superficial, lateral side of leg end of humerus→ distal phalanx in knee extends the knee |
|
latissimus dorsi |
superficial thoracic, lumbar vert.→ upper humerus flexes shoulder joint, retracts leg, rotates inward |
|
lat. dorsi dysfunction |
cinchy, lameness on affected side, shortened stride, jumpers, racehorses |
|
superficial gluteal |
superficial gluteal fascia→ tensor fascia lata extends hip, retracts leg, outward rotation |
|
tensor fascia lata |
superficial pelvis tuber coxae→ femur trochanter/ patella indirectly flexes hip, extends stifle |
|
biceps femoris |
superficial ischium of pelvis→ lateral femur, tibia, calcaneus extends& abducts the leg |
|
semitendinosus |
superficial ischial tuberosity→ mid tibia extends hip & hock |
|
semitendinosus dysfunction |
leg doesn't move forward far |
