| Abstract | ||
| In the present project, we used multimedia technology to develop a computer program demonstrating the surface anatomy of equine thoracic limb. Microsoft Power Point 2013© was the container for the multimedia assets of the program. It involves explanatory text, images, video clips and audio narrations, in addition to questions and answers for student self-evaluation. The program interface presents a button for each region of the thoracic limb. Prominent and palpable superficial structures within each region were categorized into superficial muscles, veins, arteries, nerves and others. Addressing the clinical relevance to such structures when applicable, made the program more useful to promote knowledge, enhance and facilitate teaching and learning of surface anatomy for both veterinary students, practitioners and horse owners as well. | ||
