Alterations in body lean angle in lame horses before and after diagnostic analgesia in straight lines in hand and on the lunge (2018)
Journal Article
Greve, L., Pfau, T., & Dyson, S. (2018). Alterations in body lean angle in lame horses before and after diagnostic analgesia in straight lines in hand and on the lunge. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.07.006

Altered body lean has been subjectively observed during lungeing in lame horses. The objectives were to quantify the influence of lameness on body lean in trot on the lunge and to investigate the influence of improvement in lameness on the difference...

Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse (2018)
Journal Article
Vertz, J., Deblanc, D., Rhodin, M., & Pfau, T. (2018). Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse. PLoS ONE, 13(6), e0199447. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0199447

In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes,...
