  1. 1. Movement patterns in horses with multiple limb lameness

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Jessica Bergdal; [2024]
    Keywords : multiple limb lameness; gait analysis; motion asymmetry; lameness assessment;

    Abstract : Disorders from the locomotion apparatus is the most common disease category in horses and a common cause for euthanasia. A frequent symptom of these disorders is lameness and to be able to treat such disorders the correct diagnosis needs to be made. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sensor based training registration in riding horses : possible association between training regimen and locomotion asymmetry

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Astrid Almkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : training regimens; equisense; locomotion asymmetry; riding horses; lameness locator;

    Abstract : Lameness remains a significant welfare concern in riding horses, with over 50% of documented equine injuries attributed to this condition. The precise quantification of training activities and the objective assessment of asymmetry can contribute substantially to our comprehension of the impact of training on injury occurrence and overall performance in riding horses.

  4. 3. Pilotstudie: Duration av belastningsoch svävningsfas i trav på volt jämfört med rakt spår med respektive utan ryttare samt med hästen i olika huvudpositioner

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Tove Månsson; [2020]
    Keywords : trav; hälta; hovförflyttning; ridning;

    Abstract : Lameness is a common health issue for sports horses. The horse is an athlete that often suffers from injuries in the locomotor apparatus. Such injuries are not only expensive but also have a negative effect on the welfare of the horses. The trot is a two-beat gait where the diagonal limbs move in unison. READ MORE

  5. 4. Prescribing Motion by Mirroring : Using Kinematics from an Individual's Sound Leg in Order to Prescribe the Motion of an Aid

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Marcus Jonsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Mechanics; Mirroring; Prosthesis; Biomekanik; Mekanik; Protes; Spegling;

    Abstract : Prostheses available today are either passive or active. Active prostheses canapply external energy to the joints, while passive cannot. A well functionalprosthesis that is adapted to the wearer can improve the locomotion and alsodecrease the metabolic cost. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of altered body weight and body fat content on performance, recovery response and locomotion asymmetry in the Icelandic horse

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Einar Ásgeirsson; [2018]
    Keywords : body weight; body condition score; breed evaluation field test; Icelandic horse; performance; recovery; locomotion asymmetry;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to investigate the effects of altered body weight and body condition score on physiological response to exercise in terms of performance, recovery and locomotion asymmetry in Icelandic horses. Obesity is a commonly rising problem in modern horse management. READ MORE
