About this course

We are bringing together international experts to discuss how using objectivity can improve your lameness investigations.

The programme will cover the use of inertial sensors to assess horses in a straight line, on the lunge, during flexion tests, following diagnostic analgesia, and how to establish true from compensatory lameness.

We will explore the systems available, how you can get the most out of them and how your practice would benefit from using them.

The day will be split in two with the following lectures taking place at Slimbridge Wetland Centre in the morning:

The afternoon sessions will take place at B&W Equine Hospital, where you will have the opportunity to use the different objective gait analysis systems and identify ways to use objective gait analysis in your everyday case load. You will also be invited to join us for a tour of the hospital.

Learning outcomes

• Have developed your understanding of biomechanics and gait analysis
• Feel more confident in the use of Objective Gait Analysis of the horse
• Have increased confidence in the use of Objective Gait Analysis for clinical cases using Equinosis Lameness Locator and EquiGait
