  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. Stepwise Teleportation as an Alternative to Continuous Motion in Virtual Reality

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Anna Wästling; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; Locomotion; Cybersickness; Disorientation; Continuous movement; Stepwise teleportation;

    Abstract : In the locomotion design space, artificial locomotion is most commonly used when navigating virtual spaces larger than the physical space provided. Some significant challenges to the use of artificial locomotion are however cybersickness and disorientation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Keywords : fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. READ MORE

  6. 5. Moving Beyond Two Dimensions : An Evaluation of Four Different Three-Dimensional Locomotion Interfaces for Virtual Reality

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Erik Meurk; [2023]
    Keywords : virtual reality; locomotion; three dimensional; virtuell verklighet; rörelse; tre dimensioner;

    Abstract : This paper presents a comparative evaluation of four 3D locomotion interfaces in virtual reality: Slider, Teleport, Point & Tug, and Arm-Cycle. The study employed a mixed methods approach to assess their performance using a token-collecting task in a virtual environment with obstacles, focusing on efficiency, spatial awareness, usability, task load, presence, and cybersickness.
