Evidence-based lameness detection and quantification

Kevin G Keegan. Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

Kinematic and kinetic gait analysis potentially offers veterinarians an objective method of determining equine limb lameness. Subjective analyses have been shown to be somewhat flawed, and there does not seem to be a high degree of intraobserver agreement when evaluating individual horses. In addition, recognition of the compensatory effects of primary lameness may be helpful for the practicing equine veterinarian.
