Evaluation of discriminant analysis based on dorsoventral symmetry indices to quantify hindlimb lameness during over ground locomotion in the horse
Journal Article
Church, E. E., Walker, A. M., Wilson, A. M., & Pfau, T. Evaluation of discriminant analysis based on dorsoventral symmetry indices to quantify hindlimb lameness during over ground locomotion in the horse. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(3), 304-308. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x397352Reasons for performing study: Advances in gait analysis techniques have led to assessment tools that can aid in detecting and quantifying lameness; here, bilateral tubera coxae and pelvic movement during over ground locomotion are compared in order t...

Effect of meloxicam treatment on movement asymmetry in riding horses in training
Journal Article
Persson-Sjodin, E., Hernlund, E., Pfau, T., Haubro Andersen, P., Holm Forsström, K., & Rhodin, M. (in press). Effect of meloxicam treatment on movement asymmetry in riding horses in training. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0221117Quantitative gait analysis has revealed that a large proportion of horses in training, perceived as free from lameness by their owners, show movement asymmetries of equal magnitude to horses with mild clinical lameness. Whether these movement asymmet... Read More about Effect of meloxicam treatment on movement asymmetry in riding horses in training.
Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers
Journal Article
Channon, A. J., Walker, A. M., Pfau, T., Sheldon, I. M., & Wilson, A. M. Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers. Veterinary Record, 164(13), 388-392The gait scoring system developed by Manson and Leaver was used by five experienced observers to assess the gait of 83 milking Holstein-Friesian cows in a live recording session, and video recordings were made. The agreement between the scores of the... Read More about Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers.
