In this podcast, Gillian covers the development of technology for assessing gait and speaks about how reliable visual assessment is.
Gillian covers the basics of what the technology is able to measure and some of the key papers that report on research looking into the amount of movement asymmetry seen in normal horses, and how treating with NSAID affects it.
