Hoof System
equine/animal gait analysis

System Features

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. The software is available in several languages including Spanish, French and German.
