Ontrack Equine Video Gait Analysis

 

Helen is the first therapist in the South West to use video gait analysis as an integral part of her assessment protocol. 


Helen takes a basic video record of all animals before their first treatment*.  This footage is then downloaded to Helen’s dedicated Ontrack laptop running the analysis software.  The files can then be analysed in various ways: typically, stride length, step length, straightness and joint angle are assessed.  The programme is very versatile, and can allow the overlaying of one still shot on another (perhaps for visualisation of radiograph results on to the actual location of a problem) or can run two sets of video simultaneously to allow real time comparison of differences.
