Q

why is Hindlimb protraction easier than forelimb protraction?

A

Q

Circumduction

A

Circumduction is when the leg swings laterally to the body. The limb will swing out instead of walking straight.
The faster the pace the more circumduction occur. But circumduction can be an issue.

33
Q

What else should you consider when circumduction is in the forelimb?

A

You can consider the possibility of the entire forelimb being rotated inwards (pronation). This can cause flexion of the carpus which throws the entire hoof outward.
