Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Fascial Anatomy of the Equine Forelimb offers the first detailed visual guide to the fascial (soft connective tissue) anatomy of the horse's forelimb, based on dissections of fresh equine cadaver limbs. This small, practical atlas helps equine physical therapists, veterinarians, horse riders, and body workers understand how movement issues and injuries can develop and spread through fascial connections. It includes clear, high-quality images with labelled structures, an introduction to the musculoskeletal anatomy of the forelimb, focused discussions on the practical implications of fascial connections, and accompanying videos demonstrating lines of fascial tension.

Fascial Anatomy of the Equine Forelimb by Lusi and Davies is an excellent reference resource for students and graduates alike. The number of well-defined, relevant and clear images allows quick understanding for anyone interested in the fascial anatomy of the horse. This small book is perfect to have in your bag, enabling the student or clinician to find all the information they need on-site. - Sophie Neasham, final year veterinary student, University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice, Slovakia

Key features:

  • The first book in equine anatomy to illustrate the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of the equine forelimb.

  • Clear, high-quality images (with reference images included on each page) help readers identify aspects of the limb photographed.

  • A brief introduction to the forelimb musculoskeletal anatomy (with images) helps readers familiarise themselves with muscles and bones portrayed in photographs.

  • Focused discussions highlight the practical applicability of the fascial connections illustrated.

  • Accompanying video clips demonstrate connectivity of the fascial system and particular lines of tension.

The first of its kind in equine anatomy, this clear, concise anatomical guide illustrates the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of the equine forelimb. Based on dissections of fresh equine cadaver limbs, it provides a visual map for equine physical therapists, veterinarians, and horse riders, helping them to understand how pathologies, injuries, or movement abnormalities of the equine forelimb arise and/or progress from one area of the limb to another.

The fascial system is one of the primary systems acted upon by equine physiotherapists and is of increasing interest to horse riders looking to achieve structural integration and balanced movement in their horse. With this in mind, key points in each chapter highlight everyday situations in which knowledge of the fascial system may assist in understanding horse movement and injury.

This practically applicable anatomical atlas is the ideal reference for horse owners, body workers, and veterinarians alike.

This concise 186-page book is praised for its clear, well-labelled images that support even novice anatomists in recognising equine fascial structures. Its lightweight and compact size make it ideal for use in lectures or practical settings. Beginning with an overview of forelimb musculoskeletal anatomy, the book thoroughly details individual fascial structures from the digit to the shoulder girdle, making it a valuable, portable resource for students and clinicians alike.
