马属动物 curb 发病机制的一种假说。

Can Vet J. 1981 Oct;22(10):300-1.

An hypothesis on the pathogenesis of curb in horses is considered in the light of conformation, work and the appropriate mechanics. Prevention consists of graded work until the planter tarsal ligament has strengthened sufficiently to withstand maximum normal forces.

从体型结构、工作情况及相应力学原理的角度考虑了马跗关节屈曲发病机制的一种假说。预防措施包括逐步增加运动量，直到跖跗韧带充分强化，足以承受最大正常力。
