Horse´s gait motion analysis system based on videometry

In this work, we describe the development and use of a new motion analysis system to investigate and evaluate 2D kinematic of the equine gait. This system uses a motion capture software, mathematical calculations, and a graphic interface designed to evaluate locomotor patterns of the horses. From vi...

description In this work, we describe the development and use of a new motion analysis system to investigate and evaluate 2D kinematic of the equine gait. This system uses a motion capture software, mathematical calculations, and a graphic interface designed to evaluate locomotor patterns of the horses. From video sequences of equine motion recorded by high-speed cameras, we obtained the coordinates (x, y) using TEMA 3.0 software; then, we calculated kinematic variables such as length of body segments, joint’s angles, trajectories of each marker, and joint flexion-extension curves; and with a graphical interface developed in the Mathematica software, we generated a 2D simulation of the horses movement. This tool aims at helping to investigate and evaluate the equine gait, and analyze it in an objective way (qualitative and quantitative); However, it can be used in different fields of gait analysis. This tool removes the subjectivity of the diagnosis made by veterinarians, and allows to perform different analyses, evaluations, researches, and monitoring of the equine gait.

En este trabajo se describe el desarrollo y el uso de un nuevo sistema de análisis de movimiento para investigar y evaluar la cinemática 2D de la marcha equina, el cual utiliza un software de captura de movimiento, unos cálculos matemáticos y una interfaz gráfica diseñada para evaluar el modelo locomotor de los caballos. A partir de secuencias de vídeo de la marcha equina, registradas por cámaras de alta velocidad, se obtienen las coordenadas (x, y) a través de software TEMA 3.0; luego, se calculan variables cinemáticas, tales como longitud de los segmentos corporales, ángulos de las articulaciones, trayectorias de cada marcador y curvas de flexión-extensión de las articulaciones, y con la interfaz gráfica desarrollada en el software Mathematica se genera una simulación 2D del movimiento de los caballos. Esta herramienta tiene como objetivo ayudar a investigar y evaluar la marcha equina y analizarla de forma objetiva (cualitativa y cuantitativa), aunque se puede utilizar en diferentes campos de análisis de la marcha. Se elimina la subjetividad del diagnóstico realizado por los veterinarios y permite hacer diferentes análisis, evaluaciones, investigaciones y el seguimiento de la marcha equina.
