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...

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...
