Explaining Clock Plots
Clock Plots are visuals that illustrate asymmetry indices, which may help practitioners during lameness evaluations. In Equi-Pro®, there are two Clock Plots: The left Clock Plot, which shows the front limb MinDiff and MaxDiff asymmetry parameters for the head and withers. The right [...]
Stride-related parameters, angular Range Of Motion (ROM), protraction, retraction, abduction and adduction
In this article we present the definitions and the methods to calculate the leg parameters computed in Equi-Pro, which are available for each detected stride. As described in the publication by Bosch et al. (2018), for a single limb, strides are delimited by the moment [...]
Gaits, strides, footfall patterns, suspension, DAP and LAP
In Equi-Pro, several gaits are detected: walk, trot, canter left/right, tölt and pace. Each gait is characterized by a footfalls pattern and has specific suspension possibilities (moments where no hooves are on the ground), as well as Lateral and Diagonal Advanced Placements (LAP, DAP), also called lateral [...]
MinDiff, MaxDiff, Symmetry Index and HipHike
In this article we present the definitions and the methods to calculate the upper-body asymmetry parameters in the Equi-Pro application. As described by Bosch et al. (2018), the upper-body symmetry parameters can be calculated at several upper body locations: head, withers and sacrum [...]
