In this episode, we explore what gait analysis actually means and why it matters.
We cover:
- Veterinary gait analysis – classic “lame or not lame” approach
- Objective gait analysis – tech tools & AI measurement
- Subjective analysis – what the eye perceives
- Riding instructor perspective – influenced by training philosophy
- Functional gait analysis – understanding load limits & movement units
Plus a practical exercise using markers and video review — perfect for a Christmas learning project. And finally, a note about our free Compass Call for personal support.
Key Take-aways
⭐ Gait analysis is more than “lame vs. sound.”
⭐ Objective & subjective tools complement each other.
⭐ Functional gait analysis helps identify load thresholds — not just symptoms.
⭐ Learning to see movement is a skill that can be trained.
