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... Read More about Is a standalone inertial measurement unit accurate and precise enough for quantification of movement symmetry in the horse?.
