The equine digit exhibits significant biomechanical diversity, with variations in hoof conformation and musculotendinous function creating unique loading environments that influence performance, pathology, and treatment outcomes. This webinar will examine the biomechanics of the equine distal limb with emphasis on the club/high foot and low heel/negative palmar angle foot. Discussion will focus on structural and functional differences between these hoof types, the roles of the deep digital flexor apparatus in limb suspension and force distribution, and how altered biomechanics contribute to conditions such as navicular syndrome and other chronic foot disorders. Case-based presentations will illustrate radiographic and clinical findings, and practical management strategies for common biomechanical disorders of the equine foot.
