A hidden Markov model-based stride segmentation technique applied to equine inertial sensor trunk movement data
Journal Article
Pfau, T., Ferrari, M., Parsons, K. J., & Wilson, A. M. A hidden Markov model-based stride segmentation technique applied to equine inertial sensor trunk movement data. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(1), 216-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2007.08.004

Inertial sensors are now sufficiently small and lightweight to be used for the collection of large datasets of both humans and animals. However, processing of these large datasets requires a certain degree of automation to achieve realistic workloads...

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.0221117

Quantitative 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), 388-392

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.

Influence of seating styles on head and pelvic vertical movement symmetry in horses ridden at trot
Journal Article
Persson-Sjodin, E., Hernlund, E., Pfau, T., Haubro Andersen, P., & Rhodin, M. (in press). Influence of seating styles on head and pelvic vertical movement symmetry in horses ridden at trot. PLoS ONE, 13(4), e0195341. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0195341

Detailed knowledge of how a rider’s seating style and riding on a circle influences the movement symmetry of the horse’s head and pelvis may aid rider and trainer in an early recognition of low grade lameness. Such knowledge is also important during... Read More about Influence of seating styles on head and pelvic vertical movement symmetry in horses ridden at trot.
