"The Lameness Locator system has proven to be an asset to our practice by providing objective information to aid in lameness diagnosis. We have found the system to be of great benefit in working up subtle or multiple limb lameness and particularly useful to quantify the efficacy of diagnostic blocks. Our clients appreciate the investment in cutting edge technology that aids us early diagnosis of lameness."

"Phenomenal. I use it all the time now. I find it especially useful for detecting differences (or not) with flexions and blocking-takes out the human nature element of wanting your blocks to work!"

"The Lameness Locator has inspired confidence in our clients who love the objectivity of the process. The only mistake we made is to avoid putting it on every single case so we now have 2 sets of sensors! Lameness that is “only felt by the rider” can now be “seen” by the Lameness Locator."

Kent Allen, DVM - Virginia Equine Imaging
"Lameness Locator has proven to be a practice builder by providing me with an additional diagnostic tool using cutting edge technology that has formerly been unavailable to equine practitioners. I find it very useful to objectively interpret diagnostic blocks as well as assessing response to therapy."

"The Equinosis system has allowed me to deal with subtle lamenesses that previously I may have requested these horses get worked in order to more consistently show a gait abnormality. Now I can objectively and adequately work up these horses, avoiding the risk of excessive further damage to tissues with increased workload."
Lameness Locator® by Equinosis® is the culmination of almost 20 years of research on gait analysis at the University of Missouri's Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Engineering with the support of the E. Paige Laurie Endowed Program in Equine Lameness. Lameness Locator® objectively detects and quantifies body movement asymmetry in a horse using small, wireless, body-mounted inertial sensors and a hand-held tablet PC. Instrumentation of the horse is quick, easy, and completely non-invasive. Data collection is in real time and veterinarians are free to perform their usual lameness evaluation routine without distraction.
