New global survey: 95% of orthopaedic vets say earlier detection could prevent more serious lameness cases
This summer we conducted a survey about equine lameness for more than 100 equine veterinarians from the ISELP community.

ICEEP /11th International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology: Sleip founder Elin Hernlund on Biomechanics and lameness
ICEEP is an international conference that brings together the world's best researchers and experts in equine exercise physiology and sports medicine. One of the hosts of the event was our own Elin Hernlund, DVM/Phd and one of the founders of Sleip. The event also saw the first presentation of Elin’s and her team of researchers validation study: Changes in pelvic axial rotation following diagnostic analgesia in hindlimb lame horses.
“We found that the rotation of the horse's pelvis (seen from behind) has a fingerprint pattern for different individuals. In fact they display variations to a given theme of movement. This pattern changes when the horse suffers from lameness. More and more we understand the importance of following the motion pattern of the individual horse over time”, says Elin.
