Alterations in thoracolumbosacral movement when pain causing lameness has been improved by diagnostic analgesia (2017)
Journal Article
Greve, L., Dyson, S., & Pfau, T. (2017). Alterations in thoracolumbosacral movement when pain causing lameness has been improved by diagnostic analgesia. The Veterinary Journal, 224, 5-3. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2017.03.009

Lameness, thoracolumbosacral pain and reduced range of motion (ROM) often coexist; better understanding of their relationship is needed. The objectives were to determine if thoracolumbosacral movement of horses changes when pain causing lameness is i...

Head and pelvic movement asymmetries at trot in riding horses in training and perceived as free from lameness by the owner (2017)
Journal Article
Rhodin, M., Egenvall, A., Haubro Andersen, P., & Pfau, T. (2017). Head and pelvic movement asymmetries at trot in riding horses in training and perceived as free from lameness by the owner. PLoS ONE, 12(4), e0176253. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0176253

Recent studies evaluating horses in training and considered free from lameness by their owners have identified a large proportion of horses with motion asymmetries. However the prevalence, type and magnitude of asymmetries when trotting in a straight...

Understanding hind limb lameness signs in horses using simple rigid body mechanics (2015)
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., May, S. A., & Pfau, T. (2015). Understanding hind limb lameness signs in horses using simple rigid body mechanics. Journal of Biomechanics, 48(12), 3323-3331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.06.019

Hind limb lameness detection in horses relies on the identification of movement asymmetry which can be based on multiple pelvic landmarks. This study explains the poorly understood relationship between hind limb lameness pointers, related to the tube...

Is a standalone inertial measurement unit accurate and precise enough for quantification of movement symmetry in the horse? (2015)
Journal Article
Brighton, C., Olsen, E., & Pfau, T. (2015). Is a standalone inertial measurement unit accurate and precise enough for quantification of movement symmetry in the horse?. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 18(5), 527-532. https://doi.org/10.1080/10255842.2013.819857

Standalone ‘low-cost’ inertial measurement units (IMUs) could facilitate large-scale studies into establishing minimal important differences (MID) for orthopaedic deficits (lameness) in horses. We investigated accuracy and limits of agreement (LoA) a...
