Movement asymmetry: Biological variation or lameness? by Marie Rhodin
Marie Rhodin, DVM explores movement asymmetry in horses and whether it is possible to say when the asymmetry indicates lameness.
The ability to detect even slight irregularities and subtle changes is a game-changer, allowing you to address potential problems affecting performance early on and reducing the risk of long-term injury.
While gait analysis is just one piece of the complex diagnostics puzzle, it provides objective data to substantiate your decisions and support communication about the horse's health and performance. An unbiased comparison of gait patterns before and after flexion tests and diagnostic analgesia helps localize the cause of lameness.

The app's longitudinal monitoring capability establishes a baseline for the horse's movement pattern, which is crucial for recognizing changes over time. With an add-on to your Sleip subscription, invite clients to record through the app for you. The analysis results, with high-quality video documentation and data, are automatically uploaded to the vet account.
Subscriptions start from 150 euros/170 dollars a month for a solo vet/device with access to run analyses on as many horses as you'd like. We also offer adjusted subscription packages for clinics and vets working on the same team but with different levels of use. There are no startup costs and you can cancel your subscription at any time.
Offer clients remote support. With the sharing feature added to the subscription, you can invite others to record for you through the Sleip app. The high-quality video and analysis results are automatically sent to you. Typically, vets charge an additional fee for this service.
Collaborate with horse owners, riders, and trainers to capture high-quality videos and objective gait data to empower your work and complement physical visits. Say goodbye to blurry WhatsApp videos from clients and hello to a more efficient way of working.
Discover the benefits of Sleip's horse-sharing feature and how to get started.
License-based access
Sleip is provided on a monthly subscription plan adapted to the size and needs of your practice. Easy to get started and easy to cancel.
No technical installation needed
Once you have a subscription, simply download the Sleip app and you are ready to go. No need for any hardware or equipment apart from your iPhone.
Biomechanical data synchronized with video
The artificial intelligence powered Sleip app uses markerless technology to analyse motion patterns to identify lameness.
Recordings analysed in minutes
Precise gait metrics and analysis video are processed and delivered within three minutes. If you have a slow internet connection, you can choose to upload for analysis later.
25 January 2023 – The full study confirming the capabilities Sleip in detecting lameness in horses has been published in the open access journal Animals. Veterinarians and researchers alike can now access study details for a better understanding of the measurement metrics and how the tool can be used in their work.
Uncover the power of Sleip through real-life horse stories. In the Case Studies section you will see how the Sleip app assists vets.
