How it works

System overview

Hardware

Wireless inertial sensors for capturing motion data are attached to the legs, the withers, the pelvis and the head of the horse. The sensor data is streamed to a gateway connected to the computer.

Software

The EquiMoves motion processing software computes the relevant parameters and analyzes the horse’s gait for lameness and performance assessment.

Reports

In addition to the in depth analysis, the EquiMoves software offers basic or extended PDF reports for each test.
