Kinematic and kinetic gait analysis potentially offers veterinarians an objective method of
determining equine limb lameness. Subjective analyses have been shown to be somewhat …

The skill to diagnose lamenesses in horses is paramount for every equine practitioner. Early
recognition of locomotor deficiencies plays a central role in sports medicine management …

The nociceptive thresholds of 42 sound dairy cattle were compared with 53 animals
displaying hind-claw lameness. All animals in the study were lameness scored and …

The kinematic patterns of head and trunk were studied in horses during induced supporting
limb lameness to understand the mechanisms horses use to compensate for lameness and …

The diagnosis of lameness requires a detailed knowledge of anatomy, an understanding of
kinetics and kinematics, and an appreciation for geometric design and resultant forces. A …

Background The main criteria for lameness assessment in horses are head movement for
forelimb lameness and pelvic movement for hindlimb lameness. However, compensatory …

Reasons for performing study: The compensatory mechanisms of horses with weightbearing
hindlimb lameness are still not fully understood. Hypothesis: That weightbearing, unilateral …

Forty lame dairy cows were randomly assigned to receive a course of either the non‐
steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug ketoprofen, or sterile saline, together with conventional …

Objective—To evaluate pelvic movement over a large number of strides in sound horses
and in horses with induced hind limb lameness by applying methods to the pelvis that have …

Reasons for performing study: Visual assessment of horses' movements is subjective,
affected by bias and dependent on the level of experience of the assessor. However, to date …
