  • Publication number: 20220330527
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing analytics for equine-related conditions from fetlock sensors include receiving sensor data from one or more sensors attached to one or more fetlock wearable devices. Each of the one or more fetlock wearable devices are configured to attach to a fetlock of a respective limb of a horse. The analytics system compares the sensor data to one or more baseline measurement values. The analytics system detects a condition responsive to comparing the sensor data to one or more baseline measurement values. The analytics system transmits an alert to one or more remote devices responsive to detecting the condition.

  • Publication number: 20210137073
    Abstract: An orthosis is fitted to a body joint, in a preferred embodiment the equine fetlock, by locating the center of rotation (COR) of the joint; measuring the bones comprising the joint at points located with respect to the COR; selecting the appropriate orthosis from a selection of models thereof; and custom-fitting the orthosis to the individual by heating it to soften a layer of thermoformable foam on the interior of the orthosis and clamping the orthosis in place over the body joint. A kit of tools for performing the measurements is disclosed, as are a method for location of the COR of the body joint by palpation and a preferred heater.
