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), 388-392

The 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.

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/10.2746/042516409x397352

Reasons 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...

Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach
Journal Article
Starke, S. D., Robilliard, J. J., Weller, R., Wilson, A. M., & Pfau, T. Walk-run classification of symmetrical gaits in the horse: a multidimensional approach. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2008.0238

Walking and running are two mechanisms for minimizing energy expenditure during terrestrial locomotion. Duty factor, dimensionless speed, existence of an aerial phase, percentage recovery (PR) or phase shift of mechanical energy and shape of the vert...
