radial paralysis stance

Definition

A typical stance seen in horses with a partial or complete paralysis of the radial nerve. The radial nerve innervates the extensor muscles of the forelimb, so in case of paralysis, the elbow is dropped, the carpus and the fetlock are flexed with the tip of the hoof or the dorsal hoof wall resting on the ground. In most cases, if the limb is manually placed in the correct position, the horse can bear weight.

Translations :

nerf radial (paralysie du ≈) , f

Le cheval a une attitude typique (dite «du baise-main» en Allemagne) lorsque son membre antérieur est atteint de paralysie du nerf radial. L'extension des articulations du genou, du carpe et des phalanges n'est plus possible, le membre supérieur n'a plus d'appui.
