Qualisys Motion Capture of a Horse and rider

A Biomechanical Analysis of Relationship Between the Head and Neck Position, Vertebral Column and Limbs in the Horse at Walk and Trot.

From Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, Swedish university of Agricultural Science in Uppsala, Sweden, Marie Rhodin.

Reflective markers were glued onto the skin above anatomical structures defined through palpation. A high speed 3D infrared camera system (ProReflex) was used to capture data. Twelve cameras were used and a treadmill instrumented with a force measuring system was used for simultaneous, synchronized force measurements.

why is the rider doing a passage in reality and when shown via lights only... but when rendered in skeletonized view the rider is riding a regular trot and rising ( posting) to it???

How stiff is that horse thru his back......but the untrained eye focuses on his extravigant leg movements!!

@S0XF0X The head isnt even past vertical....its when its past that it strains on a horse, it only strains at that position if the neck muscle hasnt been built up correctly ;)

le principe est bon mais il serait plus convenable de mettre vos capteurs sur les articulations.... Le capteur du grasset, de la coxo-fémorale etc... sont faux! Le résultat n'est donc pas valide. Dommage....

@frothycoffee1 it wasn't cut...it was doubled over and wrapped so that it wouldn't get caught in the treadmill. XD

@frothycoffee1 They wrapped it up. hurdur

Ugh, why must show riders make their horses flex their heads so much! It strains ligaments in the neck near the base of the skull.

why the flip does this horse only have ONE shoulder blade in the MIDDLE of the body?

@frothycoffee1 Actually, looking at it again. The tail isn't cut. It's been braided and bundled up to keep it out of the way of all those wires. Or just out of the way in general
