Study in review: Comparison of results for body-mounted inertial sensor assessment with final lameness determination in 1,224 equids Study by: Shannon K. Reed, DVM, MS; Joanne Kramer, DVM, MS; Lori Thombs, PhD; Jael B. Pitts, DVM, MS; David A. Wilson, DVM, MS and Kevin G. Keegan, DVM, MS, DACVS This month’s Journal Watch breaks down the largest study to date using body-mounted inertial sensors for the evaluation of lameness and how the information can be used in the clinical evaluation of equine lameness. This study, Comparison of results for body-mounted inertial sensor assessment with final lameness determination in 1224...

Study in Review: Meta-analysis of risk factors for racehorse catastrophic musculoskeletal injury in flat racing P.L. Hitchens, A.V. Morrice-West, M.A. Stevenson, R.C. Whitton First published in The Veterinary Journal: 26 November 2018 | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.11.014 Although catastrophic injury during racing or training has always been a concern to the equine racing industry, it is a growing focus to animal welfare advocacy groups around the globe. It has once again been thrust into the public eye with the increased incidence at Santa Anita racetrack in California. As with most public issues, especially in today’s world with rapid and broad news dissemination,...

Journal Reviewed: Effects of sensor position on kinematic data obtained with an inertial sensor system during gait analysis of trotting horses. Moorman VJ, Frisbie DD, Kawcak CE, McIlwraith CW. Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association | 2017 Mar 1;250(5):548-553z This study assessed the effects of altering the right forelimb gyroscope and pelvic accelerometer from their midline position on forelimb and hind limb lameness results. The right forelimb sensor was placed 2cm medial and lateral to the dorsal midline surface of the pastern. The pelvic sensor was placed 2cm cranial to, caudal to, and left and right of the...
