Major improvements in miniaturized inertial sensing and wireless data transmission have led to the development of gait analysis systems that can be used ‘in the field’. As a result, gait assessment can now be performed as an adjunct to the clinical lameness examination without specialized gait laboratories and clinically relevant movements/ exercises such as lungeing, flexion tests and diagnostic analgesia can be quantified.
In order to seamlessly integrate the results into the structured decision-making process of a typical lameness examination it is important to reduce the number of quantified parameters to an absolute minimum thus avoiding ‘paralysis by analysis’. Head nod and hip (or pelvic) hike are visual indicators of lameness commonly used by many veterinarians when judging the presence and severity of a weight-bearing lameness. These can be accurately and precisely measured with inertial sensors and are crucially intrinsically linked to the underlying Newtonian mechanics of the movement. A change in head nod or hip hike is directly linked to a change in force distribution providing an ideal platform to detect small changes in force distribution between limbs over the course of a lameness examination.
