Dr. Kevin Keegan, equine surgeon, professor at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, and inventor of the Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator will host a discussion on inertial sensor-based lameness measurement for farriers. Dr. Keegan will cover the biomechanical model and method used in Lameness Locator, an overview of data interpretation, and how lameness measurement can be used to quantify improvement and track changes over time to optimize case management.

Performing lameness examinations has never been an exact science. Even the best equine veterinarians do not always agree on the cause or even the location of difficult lamenesses. Now, a relatively new piece of veterinary technology is taking the subjectivity out of lameness exams.
