“…The horse-rider´s interaction has also been studied and the graphics of rider movement have been consistent with those reported by the horse trunk (Halling-Thomsen et al 2010, Eckardt et al 2014, Rhodin et al 2016. Following this line, Miro et al (2006) conducted a comparison of the horse's gait with and without riders, where they found no difference between the two movement conditions.…”

“…In veterinary medicine, a broad gait classification is defined; the most common elements are walk, trot, canter and gallop. Walk and trot show a symmetrical behavior during gait (Halling-Thomsen et al 2010). Horses with lameness modify gait behavior, but when it is subtle it may not be possible to identify the disorder at a single glance (McCracken et al 2012).…”

Horses with lameness modify gait behavior, but when it is subtle, it may not be possible to identify it clinically. The objective of this research is to characterize the normal gait phases of walking Warmblood horses by combining photogrammetry and accelerometry to monitor lameness to indicate a structural or functional disorder in the extremities. The study was conducted in 23 adult male Warmblood horses. Photogrammetry was used to identify the kinematic variables of the limbs and the markers path over time; triaxial accelerometers were used to capture the orthogonal acceleration components. It was determined that only 10 horses showed a normal gait pattern, there was a 43% correspondence between the expert´s judgment and the diagnostic techniques. According to the Stashak classification of the gait phases, cycle phases to forelimb were 34/4/8/13/41, while for hind limb were 54/11/8/8/19 (% of the stride). The range of motion (ROM) of the neck, knee and fetlock joints was 45.52±5.63°, 196.04±19.7° and 209±11.52° respectively. A combination of experimental methods was used to identify the phases of gait cycle of healthy horses. There was a correspondence in the location of the points of maximum displacement of the limbs with both techniques. More detailed information on the limbs movement was obtained using the accelerometer technology. These methods are applicable to other conditions either outdoors or in the lab.INDEX TERMS: Gait, horses, Warmblood, lameness, photogrammetry, accelerometry, equine, limb injuries, clinics. Analysis and characterization of the normal gait phases of walking Warmblood horses as a tool for the diagnosis of lameness Uma combinação dos métodos experimentais foi utilizada para identificar as fases do ciclo de marcha de cavalos saudáveis. Constatou-se correspondência na localização dos pontos de deslocamento máximo do membro com ambas as técnicas. A informação mais detalhada do movimento dos membros foi obtida usando a acelerometria. Estes métodos são aplicáveis em outras condições, quer a campo ou no laboratório.

“…IMUs have been used successfully in equine gait analysis (Pfau, Witte & Wilson 2005;Thomsen, Jensen, Sørenson, Lindegaard & Andersen 2010;Starke, Witte, Maya & Pfau 2012). These have shown the presence of asymmetry in the horse, so it is necessary to consider whether the asymmetry shown in the rider is related to, and consistent with, asymmetry of the horse, or if they are independent.…”

“…Improvements in sensor technology and miniaturisation now allow user-friendly quantification of over ground locomotion. One or multiple uni-axial accelerometers (Barrey et al, 1995;Barrey and Galloux, 1997;Weishaupt et al, 1993;Keegan et al, 2004;Halling Thomsen et al, 2010), gyroscopes (Gouwanda and Arosha Senanayake, 2011) or 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) inertial measurement units (Pfau et al, 2005(Pfau et al, , 2006(Pfau et al, , 2007 are employed for this purpose. Six DoF inertial sensors have the advantage of enabling the capture of rotational and translational information in 3D space, allowing movement in any desired direction to be calculated (Pfau et al, 2005).…”
