Lameness results in a decrease in GRF trace

How to measure GRF

(Witte et al 2004)

Duty Factor

(Chateau et al. 2009)

Horseshoes

([online], Aphis.usda.gov. 2022)

Force Plates

CONCLUSIONS

Horseshoe shows most potential as a measuring tool.Force plates, most common but have limitations that need to be accounted for.

Need for a standardised scale.Previous literature was successful but can't use method in everyday clinical studies

Take home message: No, GRF can't be used as a diagnostic tool for lameness. The most promising application is evaluation of lameness treatment e.g using inverse dynamics.
