1. No poles
2. Low poles (11cm)
3. High poles (20cm
Spatiotemporal and angular kinematic variables and GRFs were measured during stance.
Comparisons between conditions were measured using repeated measures. 
The 8 horses were assessed as having >1 lameness on a scale of 5 when trotting in a straight line. They were trained to trot over poles on the ground and raised poles at a consistent speed and rhythm and were prepared for gait analysis by attaching 41 reflective markers over anatomical landmarks at the head, neck, trunk and limbs. 
A 10 camera motion analysis system was used for kinematic data and GRF data was collected using 4 force plates in series.]]> 2018-12-03 09:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310323107 https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310323981 Aim is to measure stance phase kinematic and the GRFs in the forelimb and hindlimbs of horses trotting on level ground, over low poles and over high poles.
Also to test the test the hypothesis that trotting over poles is associated with increases in peak GRFs and impulses in the supporting hindlimb and forelimb compared to trotting over level ground ]]> 2018-12-03 09:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310323981 https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310324092 Aim: to find out the mechanics for trotting over poles for therapeutic effects. 
Method: had skin-fixed reflective markers to measure swing phase kinematics from 8 horses trotting on level ground. Over low (11cm) and high (20cm) poles spaced evenly apart. 
Horses trotted along run way with 3 conditions no poles, low poles and high poles trials were repeated until 6 trials had been recorded 
results: Trotting speed decreased from no poles to low poles and low poles to high poles due to an increased stride demand. Forelimb and hindlimb swing durations   ]]> 2018-12-03 09:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310324092 https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310325471 The only GRF component that increased when trotting over poles was weak forelimb braking GRF
Forlimb vertical and breaking impulses increased and the transverse impulse changed from medially to laterally directed. extension of the metatarsalphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints did not change.

Testing the hypothesis that trotting over poles is associated with increases n peak GRF's and impulses in the supporting hind and forelimb when compared with trotting on level ground. Higher GRF's might be painful or jeopardise healing of musculoskeletal injuries. ]]> 2018-12-03 09:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310325987 https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310326913 Support the use of trot poles during rehabilitation from lameness in horses that move symmetrically.
The generation of laterally directed forelimb transverse forces suggests that trotting over poles may recruit the forelimb adductor musculature.]]> 2018-12-03 09:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_hancox/wer1mglqyrwb/wish/310326913
