Emergency Care Lameness Assessment using Equinosis
The Equinosis lameness locator is an exciting new addition to the practice. It is a diagnostic tool for lameness investigation that provides an objective assessment of your horse’s gait. Sensors are placed on the horse’s poll, pastern and pelvis which measure the vertical movement of the horse’s body. The horse is then worked in a straight line and on the lunge; the locator can adjust its measurements to cope with a variety of surfaces. A report is produced, identifying which legs are showing lameness and the phase of the stride in which the lameness occurs; it can be an impact lameness when the leg hits the ground or a push off lameness as the horse switches leg. The locator is particularly useful for assessing the response to nerve blocks and in cases of multi-limb lameness. It can also be used to assess a horse’s progress through a rehabilitation programme.

Equinosis Technology
The use of technology helps to reduce any bias in interpretation and allows for the most subtle of lameness issues to be identified. We are also able to use Equinosis at repeat check ups to establish how a horse has responded to any treatment given. The system is entirely portable and can be brought to your yard. Here at Field we are always keen to keep up to date and invest in the latest technology to improve our service and to provide the best care for your horses. The Equinosis System is just one example of how computer and advanced technology can be incorporated into our care for your horses.
