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...
