Its function is to control the neutral position of the joint when the activity of the passive stabilizers is minimal. During their contraction there is a little variation in muscle length. The activity of this type of musculature is independent of the control of movement and continues throughout the joint movement. Importantly, its contraction starts milliseconds before the movement begins.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Global: these are posture control muscles and generate medium \/ low intensity forces to control the entire range of motion. Its activity is not continuous and depends on the direction of movement.

They generate high intensity forces to produce large amplitudes of motion from concentric tasks, but can also work eccentrically to decelerate loads. Activity of these muscles is not continuous and depends on the direction of movement. It is important to know that they can have a global stabilizing action in high speed movements and \/ or high biomechanical load.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagen 1:  Rango de movimiento articular y zona neutra articular<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"283\" height=\"206\" src=\"http:\/\/www.equinephysioperformance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/8c7856f4790da4e33a8ae0c430233564fa45d441.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1190\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before delving into compensatory alterations from any injury or musculoskeletal alterations of the horse, we must acquire basic knowledge about muscular anatomy.
