在这项研究中，地面反作用力的分析方法，以帮助诊断亚临床屈肌腱损伤。一个奇石测力板被用来获得记录的人口纯种在国家狩猎训练超过两年。所产生的力模式的特征进行了测量，并显示出具有低方差，无论是在马匹之间，还是在整个试验期间都是健全的动物的两个比赛季节。在研究期间，从持续临床损伤的马中确定了与浅趾屈肌腱损伤相关的肢体负荷模式的特定变化。回顾性分析表明，在该组马表现出临床跛行之前，力模式的变化变得明显。这种类型的分析提供了在早期阶段检测肌腱损伤的客观手段。
In this study a method of analysing ground reaction forces was developed to help in the diagnosis of subclinical flexor tendon injury. A Kistler force plate was used to obtain records from a population of Thoroughbreds in National Hunt training over a period of two years. Characteristic features of the force patterns generated were measured and shown to have low variance, both between horses and over a period of two racing seasons in animals that were sound throughout the trial. Specific changes in the loading pattern of the limb, which correlated with injury of the superficial digital flexor tendon, were identified from horses that sustained clinical injury during the study. Retrospective analysis showed that changes became apparent in the force patterns before this group of horses exhibited clinical lameness. This type of analysis provides an objective means of detecting tendon injury at an early stage.
