Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator® - Computerized Gait Analysis
The Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator® is a veterinary diagnostic system used to objectively measure a horse’s movement to locate subtle lameness and assess responsiveness to diagnostic analgesia such as nerve and joint blocks.
The inertial sensor, which is positioned in the croup, transmits up to 200 data points from the horse's head, pelvis, right front leg, and rider position.
Bluetooth technology located at the poll and the right front fetlock allows long-range connectivity to a tablet that displays real-time results.
Advantages:
- Establish a wellness baseline
- Monitor sub-clinical performance issues prior to visual cues
- Resolve mild or multiple limb lameness
- Quantify effectiveness of nerve & joint blocks
- Monitor rehabilitation progress
- Assess asymmetry in pre-purchase evaluations
