Accurate lameness diagnosis in horses, a problem that has stymied veterinarians for centuries, may finally be entering a new age of medical precision. Since horses can't say where they hurt, veterinarians have used subjective visual methods to determine what joint of the horse is causing the problem. Today, because of research carried out at MU, sophisticated motion analysis sensors and computers can objectively tell the precise part of the horse that has been injured.

This advance will significantly improve the lives of horses, particularly in Missouri, the third largest horse owning state in the country,

Additional stall and laboratory space is needed to build upon these medical advances.
