Influence of Acupuncture on Experimental Lameness in Horses
نویسنده
چکیده
Electro-acupuncture (EA) can decrease the lameness score in the experimental-model horses and reduce the degree of lameness significantly (p , 0.001). EA simultaneously increase plasma b-endorphin concentration. This result indicates that EA can be used for lame horses in the clinic.

متن کاملRater agreement of visual lameness assessment in horses during lungeing
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Lungeing is an important part of lameness examinations as the circular path may accentuate low-grade lameness. Movement asymmetries related to the circular path, to compensatory movements and to pain make the lameness evaluation complex. Scientific studies have shown high inter-rater variation when assessing lameness during straight line movement. OBJECTIVES The a...
متن کاملGait analysis of horses for lameness detection with radar sensors
This paper presents the preliminary investigation of the use of radar signatures to detect and assess lameness of horses and its severity. Radar sensors in this context can provide attractive contactless sensing capabilities, as a complementary or alternative technology to the current techniques for lameness assessment using video-graphics and inertial sensors attached to the horses’ body. The ...
