The Hoof ™ system combines practical biomechanics with computer aided technology to revolutionize the
analysis, interpretation, and treatment of equine or large animal gait and ambulatory function. The Hoof
system offers instantaneous data at every critical phase by providing objective, quantifiable data to
effectively treat lameness, hoof, shoeing, and other gait related disorders in shod and unshod animals.
The system is available tethered or untethered for increased mobility and range of assessment.
