Effects of a flotation vest and water flow rate on limb kinematics of Siberian Huskies swimming against a current

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In dogs, range of motion during swimming was greater for the carpus than tarsus, when an FV was not worn, and increased more with WFR when WFR was incrementally increased. Those factors should be considered during swimming-based rehabilitation.PMID:34727070 | DOI:10.2460/ajvr.21.02.0021
