2023/08/28

STUDENTS: Emily Russ and Jessica Dixon FACULTY MENTOR: Dr. Thilo Pfau There is no shortage of research showing that even the experts struggle to diagnose equine lameness, simply due to the limits of the human eye in detecting movement asymmetry. To further complicate the picture, there is inherent bias in interpreting flexions or diagnostic blocks due to knowledge of the procedures being performed. It becomes clear that, in order for us to advance in our accurate detection and therefore appropriate
