Abstract:
Equine aqua-treadmills have become increasingly popular for training and rehabilitation, yet still little research exists to quantify movement when horses are moving through water on a treadmill. This PhD has sought to investigate the movements of the axial skeleton when horses are exercised on an aqua-treadmill at increasing water depths using state-of-the-art 3D motion tracking and inertial sensor technologies to explore vertical and mediolateral displacements of specific anatomical areas together with making comparisons to overground locomotion and also including the addition of a training aid both overground and through the aqua-treadmill exercise. Results are positive and exciting. It is anticipated that published results will aid the development of constructive, specific and controlled therapeutic rehabilitation and fitness programmes.
