In this conversation, Dr. Adrian Harrison discusses his journey in the field of biomechanics and the importance of proprioception in understanding equine movement. He explains the significance of myofascial kinetic lines and how they relate to muscle function and asymmetries in horses. The discussion also covers the innovative use of acoustic myography as a non-invasive method to measure muscle activity, emphasizing the need for better scientific approaches in equine welfare and training. Dr. Harrison advocates for a future where science and equestrian sports intersect to improve animal welfare and performance.
