Weishaupt et al (1995) Bilateral lameness in horses - a kinematic study, Veterinary Quarterly, 17:103.105 by Jenny Paddison https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08 en-us 2016-10-06 21:51:17 UTC 2023-02-25 04:31:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Paper PDF jenny_paddison https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/128985666 2016-10-06 21:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/128985666 They did not find anything. No statistically significant difference between variables https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130755661 2016-10-14 14:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130755661 https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130756579 They concluded that changes in fetlock hyperextension  and diagonal advanced placing indicate bilateral lameness. 

They trotted the horses on a treadmill, this makes their study repeatable as the speed and ground type where controlled for each horse. 

The sample size of 11 horses is fairly representable of the general population, despite only using one breed of horse. 

The horses they used had already had at least 90 minutes of treadmill experience, this means that the horses were accustom to the treadmill so their results were not effected by a 'new experience'. 

The horses used in this study were subjected to induced lameness, by having flat headed screws screwed into their hooves using specially designed shoes, to induce different severities of lameness. This means that they had more control over the severity of the lameness, this makes their study repeatable but may have ethical concerns. ]]> 2016-10-14 14:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130756579 https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130758177 They studied how anesthesia for lameness diagnosis can affect the horses locomotion.

- the kinematics of the horses were recorded while they trotted (3.5 m/s) on a treadmill. ]]> 2016-10-14 14:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130761881 fortrashymail https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130762086 Bilateral lameness shouldn't create any significant differences in the left and right limbs.]]> 2016-10-14 14:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130762086 Method https://padlet.com/jenny_paddison/cwichr8t7b08/wish/130762142 Video graphic technique 2D- they use lights to mark points of interest
Acelerometers are used to look at stride. They can indicate stance and swing phase and allow the authors to look at stride length
Horse was viewed sound, one lame limb and bilateral lameness.
