New Techniques for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Equine Health Problems
"[EquuSense]
is a sensing system that detects motion and the rate of motion, and it
measures the force the horse puts on the limb," says Chris Kawcak, DVM
associate professor in Colorado State University's Orthopaedic Research
Center.
"This is an easy-to-use system that can be applied
regularly to determine limb use in horses," Kawcak says. "That way, we
can detect subtle lameness that might affect a horse's training."

Equine Performance Analysis
Telemetry and informatics have proven their ability to maximize
performance in elite sports worth billions of dollars, including
Formula 1 and America's Cup. EquuSys provides the same benefits to the equine industry
with EquuSense equine sensor systems, the first legitimate effort to
deliver practical telemetric analysis to the equine world.
Real World, Quantitative Data
EquuSense enhances the analysis, care and
performance development of elite horses. Our patented technology
enables us to analyze and present unique views on the how and why of
equine performance.
EquuSense lets vets, farriers and other equine practioners evaluate a
horse′s movement for lameness, particularly subtle or mild lameness,
multiple-leg and other difficult lameness presentations.
