canine biomechanics

Canine biomechanics studies how a dog's muscles, joints, and bones work together to enable movement and function. It analyzes how dogs walk, run, jump, and perform other physical activities by understanding the forces and motions involved. This knowledge helps veterinarians and trainers identify movement patterns, prevent injuries, and improve performance. Essentially, it’s like understanding how all the parts of a dog’s body coordinate to move efficiently and stay healthy. By examining biomechanics, we can better support a dog’s overall wellbeing and agility through tailored interventions and training.
