Objektive Ganganalyse des Pferdes – traditionelle und moderne Methoden

Egal für welchen Zweck wir mit Pferden arbeiten, ob für einen gemütlichen Ausritt oder für sportlichere Aktivitäten wie Trab- und Galopprennen, Springreiten, Dressur, Endurance, Eventing oder Polo – um nur einige wenige beliebte Pferdesportarten zu nennen –, in allen diesen Aktivitäten müssen Pferde sich bewegen. Und Verletzungen, so gerne wir sie auch verhindern wollen, passieren nun mal nicht beim Stillstehen, sondern meist, wenn wir uns bewegen. Im Folgenden werden verschiedene Methoden der objektiven Ganganalyse zur Lahmheitsdiagnostik genauer dargestellt.
