Horse Gait Analysis with Tekscan's Pressure Mapping Systems
Horse gait analysis with Tekscan's pressure mapping systems combine practical biomechanics with computer aided technology to revolutionize the analysis, interpretation, and treatment of horse gait and ambulatory function.
Our systems provide objective, quantifiable data at every critical phase to allow you to effectively treat horse lameness, hoof, shoeing, and other gait related disorders.
Tekscan Systems for Horse Gait Analysis
- Hoof pressure measurement with Hoof™ System - placed underneath the hoof or inside the boot
- Animal gait analysis with Animal Walkway™ System - customizable low profile floor mat that the horse can stand on or walk over
Benefits of Using Pressure Mapping for Horse Gait Analysis
- Assess and reduce lameness by providing early assessment and institution of proper treatment
- Detect hoof imbalances
- Evaluate and monitor responses to variable treatments
- Assist in differentiating the causes of lameness
"This system provides an awful lot of information that helps you help that horse. It allows a mechanical analysis of the landing load and breakover pattern of that foot and leg, and can clarify a lot of things you might see on a radiograph (X ray), sonogram, or MRI image. Like good radiographs, it provides all parties involved with objective data from which to work."
