Gait analysis
Gait analysis can assess stride characteristics
and identify subtle changes that may lead to
poor performance. Equinalysis is a system
developed by Master Farrier Haydn Price
DipWCF designed to analyse how your
,
horse moves.
Horses are screened using joint markers
and video technology. The horse is usually
analysed in both walk and trot. However,
the canter can be analysed on a surface with
a rider or on a treadmill. Spherical markers
are placed on the horse, and a computer
tracks them, creating quantifiable data
relating to joint angles, velocity and
acceleration. Various measurements are
taken, such as stride length, carpal/tarsal
flexion and fetlock hyperextension.
Post screening, the data and images are
