Veterinarios

Thank you, Dr. Keegan, for inventing the single best piece of equipment I have purchased in my 36 years of practice. It has changed my life. I was considering retiring, but am now excited to perform lameness evaluations again and looking forward to practicing for years to come.

In our environment, [the Equinosis Q with Lameness Locator] helps to minimize conflict with trainers who might say ‘You know this horse’s action! The last time he looked exactly the same and won; so, why do you have an issue with him this time around?’ LL is useful to confirm a decline in the quality of movement and defend a regulatory decision. We often put LL ‘workup’ requirements on horses in training that have been recorded or found to be lame as part of their suitability to return to training. We also use the LL to support the enforcement of the compulsory retirement of horses with pathology that may compromise welfare.

A real eye-opener [for all veterinarians]; multi-limb lameness and subtle changes after diagnostic anesthesia (which is what we are dealing with on a daily basis) really benefit from instant, objective and quantitative interpretation.Moreover, the ease-of-use of the Q is simply impressive.

Equinosis has become the standard by which I assess all lameness cases. After looking at lame horses for four decades, I now realize I was examining horses without as much information as I needed before I was using the Q. My clients, many of whom are discerning professionals, now rely on this technology as much as I do. After assessing more than 500 horses in the past 3 years, I have two hard and fast rules: never assess a nerve block without using the Q and never let my clients purchase a horse without the information offered by the Q.

I just love the machine. So helpful. Great tool to add to my practice. I feel it has helped me become a better vet and I have learned more about the biomechanics of the horse. I use it almost daily. Love love love it!

The Lameness Locator system has proven to be an asset to our practice by providing objective information to aid in lameness diagnosis. We have found the system to be of great benefit in working up subtle or multiple limb lameness and particularly useful to quantify the efficacy of diagnostic blocks. Our clients appreciate the investment in cutting edge technology that aids us early diagnosis of lameness.

My customers LOVE it. It has definitely brought us new clients.

We use the Lameness Locator with the inertial sensors for up to 80% of our lameness patients..especially examining hind leg lameness.

We have three criteria before we purchase new technology. The equipment must: 1) improve equine health care, 2) improve the veterinarian’s quality of life, 3) generate revenue. The Lameness Locator does all three exceptionally well. This is a remarkable device.

The Lameness Locator has inspired confidence in our clients who love the objectivity of the process. The only mistake we made is to avoid putting it on every single case so we now have 2 sets of sensors! Lameness that is “only felt by the rider” can now be “seen” by the Lameness Locator.

Lameness Locator has become an integral part of my evaluation of horses referred to me for lameness. I use Lameness Locator routinely, 1) to detect if lameness is present in horses with a history of poor performance or multi-limb lameness, 2) to grade the level of lameness before and after regional analgesic techniques and calculate the degree of improvement observed especially in horses with hind limb lameness.

I have found the Lameness locator to be especially helpful in interpreting the results of diagnostic nerve blocks in horses with subtle hind limb lameness…I more frequently identify and resolve lameness problems. The lameness locator is easy to use, sensitive and reliable. The professional staff at Equinosis are extremely helpful.

Lameness Locator has proven to be a practice builder by providing me with an additional diagnostic tool using cutting edge technology that has formerly been unavailable to equine practitioners. I find it very useful to objectively interpret diagnostic blocks as well as assessing response to therapy.

We have used the Lameness Locator® to evaluate clinical cases of lameness and for research…the objective data obtained with the Lameness Locator® appears to provide a much more accurate assessment of gait (based on sometimes wide variation of our subjective scores) and provides reassurance that subjective data has not been unduly influenced by our bias.

Phenomenal! I use it all the time now. I find it especially useful for detecting differences (or not) with flexions and blocking – takes out the human nature element of wanting your blocks to work!

The Equinosis system has allowed me to deal with subtle lamenesses that previously I may have requested these horses get worked in order to more consistently show a gait abnormality. Now I can objectively and adequately work up these horses, avoiding the risk of excessive further damage to tissues with increased workload.

The Lameness Locator provides a superior measurement that allows me to make more accurate diagnoses and monitor patient progress with higher precision. It also gives me the early detection of sub-clinical lameness in high level sport horses. It’s like having a second opinion at every appointment and has revolutionized my lameness exam methodology.

The LL has become a very useful diagnostic and teaching modality of the University of Florida’s Equine Lameness & Imaging Service. Its use has led to more comprehensive lameness exams, and increased client confidence. It supports our clinical assessments of routine, multi-limb, and subtle lameness.

The Lameness Locator has proven to be very useful in our practice. On a daily basis, this system assists us in determining the origin of complicated lameness and serves as a guide to further diagnostic testing and targeted therapy. Our clients are impressed with the results and have been very supportive of it.

The lameness locator has become an integral part of our sports evaluations at Mission Equine.
