Journal Article
Valentin, S., Peham, C., Zsoldos, R. R., & Licka, T. F. (2017). A sphere fitting approach to determine the hip joint centre of the horse. Comparative Exercise Physiology, 13(2), 113-118. https://doi.org/10.3920/CEP160039

Accurate identification of the hip joint centre (HJC) is crucial for the correct estimation of knee and hip joint loads and kinematics, which is particularly relevant in orthopaedic surgery and musculoskeletal modelling. Several methods have been des... Read More about A sphere fitting approach to determine the hip joint centre of the horse.

Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zsoldos, R., Voegele, A., Valentin, S., Weber, A., & Licka, T. (2017, January). Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot. Poster presented at Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology 2017 (SICB Annual Meeting 2017), New Orleans, United States

From a dynamic perspective, terrestrial mammals of very different sizes move in a similar way as they have very similar Froude numbers, even though the dynamic properties of the tissues such as muscle do not change with the different sizes. In the pr... Read More about Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot.
