Legged locomotion results from the feet pressing against the ground to generate ground
reaction forces (GRFs) that are responsible for moving the body. By changing limb …

Objective gait analysis provides valuable information about the locomotion characteristics of
sound and lame horses. Due to their high accuracy and sensitivity, inertial measurement …

Objective—To evaluate the association between subjective lameness grades and kinetic
gait parameters and assess the variability in kinetic parameters in horses with …

Simple Summary Sagittal groove disease (SGD) of the equine proximal phalanx is
considered to be a chronic bone stress injury and reported to have variable evolution. The …

N N. y animal, for example, to measure motion-related parameter associated with one or
more parts of the animal. Sensor data is received from the sensors and processed to identify …

Objective—To determine the maximum amount of flexion and extension of the carpal, tarsal,
metacarpophalangeal, and metatarsophalangeal joints and the percentage duration of the …

Gaited horse breeds perform a variety of four-beat stepping gaits that are recognized and
distinguished by the sequence and timing of the footfalls and by the limb support sequences …

The aims of this study were to measure ground reaction forces (GRFs) of concurrently
loaded limbs and to evaluate spatial relationships between the centre of pressure (COP) …

This review presents a comparative viewpoint to accompany that published by Buchner and
Schildboeck (2006). In their review the authors searched the veterinary literature for …

The objective was to study associations between kinematics and ground reaction forces in
the hindlimb of walking horses. Video (60 Hz) and force (2000 Hz) data were gathered for 8 …
