(Prof. dr. D.C. Knottebelt, 2017)
Objective (or quantitative) gait analysis measures locomotion with certain technology. This can be done by quantification of forces (kinetics) or motion (kinematics).
The amount of commerically available devices to quantify locomotion in horses increased at a tremendous pace. Be very critical when purchasing a system; is this system validated, which parameters are measured and what is the (biological) relevance of those parameters?
At the moment, there are four systems available which are suitable for daily clinical use by equine veterinarians:
There are several key factors to consider which systems fits best within your practice/clinic, like:
First of all, in an accurate system, suitable for the (future) situation of your practice or clinic. As important is investing in time and knowledge to:
continued education. Developments around gait analysis technology for horses is evolving at a tremendous pace, which makes knowledge become out of data quickly.
'knowlege of the biomechanical backgrounds and scientific developments around the (interpretation of) quantitative gait analsis is essential to correctly use this technology'
DataHorse enables the correct and efficient use of quantitative gait analysis for every equine practice or clinic. What can you expect from us:
