HORSE GAIT ANALYSIS WITH TEKSCAN'S PRESSURE MAPPING SYSTEMS
Use pressure mapping technology to analyze and treat gait related disorders in horses
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 lameness, hoof, shoeing, and other gait related disorders in horses. Tekscan offers systems that go underneath the hoof or inside the boot, as well as a platform that the horse can stand on or walk over. Customer Quote
"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."
