Equinalysis Gait Analysis :: Nixon Equine Vets
Equinalysis software provides ‘in field’ video capture and gait analysis. It was developed by GB Eventing Team farrier Haydn Price in conjunction with Mark Johnson, a human sports biomechanist and has only been commercially available since the end of 2003.
How Nixon Equine use Equinalysis for equine performance assessment
Nixon Equine Veterinary Practice has been offering Equinalysis since October 2004. Nixon Equine Vets started by assessing ‘normal’ horses, perceived by owners to be sound in action and performing to the best of their ability, and by their farrier to have well balanced feet. - This enabled us to gain experience in the full range of diagnostic modalities Equinalysis provides plus an invaluable base-line data base of cases to refer to.
We now offer Equinalysis as an adjunct to performance assessment in under-achieving horses and as a means to quantifying response to treatment which invariably requires farrier cooperation. Markers are placed on the horse at specific locations. - These provide reference points from which measurements relating to the horse’s gait are made. The horse is videoed at halt, walk and trot, from in front, behind and from both left and right sides.
