A new kinematic method accurately identifies hoof-on, hoof-off, and peak vertical force timings in horses during walk, trot, and canter. This technique offers a simpler approach for gait analysis across different gaits.

Area of Science:

  • Equine biomechanics
  • Gait analysis
  • Motion analysis

Background:

  • Previous research validated threshold-based techniques for kinematic gait events.
  • A universally applicable method for walk, trot, and canter was lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple kinematic method for identifying hoof contact (hoof-on), peak vertical force, and lift-off (hoof-off) timings.
  • To ensure the method's applicability across walk, trot, and canter gaits.

Main Methods:

  • An in vivo study involving three horses across walk, trot, and canter gaits.
  • Synchronized recording of 3D ground reaction forces (GRFz) and 10-camera motion analysis.
  • Kinematic identification of gait events using limb joint angles correlated with GRFz data.

Main Results:

  • Hoof-off detection showed better accuracy and precision than hoof-on across all gaits.
  • Peak metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint angle provided a more precise estimate of peak vertical force than the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint angle.

Conclusions:

  • A simple kinematic method for detecting key gait events in horses was proposed.
  • Further validation with a larger sample size and diverse surfaces is recommended.
