Consistency
Every time a horse is ridden, trackers give you a consistency score, It is a stastical average of horses movement pattern in all gaits. Additionally it also give you an indication of consistency in the specific gait in the graph below. You can use this data to identify inconsistencies/injury/lameness. Consistent gait means that it has the same elevation and stride pattern through the sesison.
Additionally this can also assist with identifying rehab. In the graph below, you can see that the consistency dropped because of the injury, but after a treatment, the consistency went back to normal after the rehab phase.
Stride Analysis
Each gait has different stride pattern. Each swing phase is a stride. Swing phase starts from the moment horse lifts the hoof, until it lands it.
Output of stride is measured by 3-axis inertial measurement sensor. It uses various filtering algorithms to calculate the stride consistency. This data is further passed into an algorithm specific to the horse to monitor the progress
This screen compares front legs vs the hind legs. Since both legs have very different stride pattern, they are not compared with each other. Fronts are compared with Fronts and Hinds are compared with hinds. The red dotted line is statically accurate line derived from the averaging of various stride parameters. If the leg has an issue with injury/lameness, the gait will be consistently below the red line for quite a long time. Imaging if the horse has an injury and horse isn't lifting the leg up because of the pain. Even subtle changes in stride can be seen in this screen.
Lameness Indicator
This screen shows you the technical details of why that particular leg has a problem. It could give you an indication of type of injury/lameness. It measures the attributed mentioned in the chart below.
Each parameters are compared with front left vs front right and hind left vs hind right. It give you the measure overview in the points below. Just like an being, the stride is never going to be perfect. This is just an indicator of something that might be wrong with a leg. If there is quite a lot of difference, then the algorithm will measure it and tell you that something wasn't right. Imaging if your horse isn't lifting the left hoof high enough at the right time it is supposed to every time you trot. This could give you something like "Issue detected in Front Left. The stride is short by X% due to the unmatching features" This comparison is given by measuring the movement of the left to the right hoof.
This is also represented in the graph below which is the average of the shortness in stride on the hoof. The shorter the stride, the more problem the hoof has.
In the example below the horse is short on front left and front right indicating that something isn't right with the left side of the horse and that is is not moving evenly. Sometime this is also found because of not only the way the horse moves, but also because it could be the rider that is imbalanced. Rider has a lot of influence on the horse gait and movement pattern.
The spider chart below drills down into the chart above and explains a bit more about what could be causing the shortening of stride. The more the problem, the more bigger is the circle in the spider chart. It is the % by which the particular metric is short as compared to the other leg. In example below you can see that front left has some issues with Regularity, deviation and frequency of stride. Similarly, the issue with hind leg seems to be more on all of the metrics. This could indicate that the problem lies more on the hind left which is causing the hind right to shorten too. The advice would be to identify what is wrong with the hind left. This could be done by recording the data by lunging the horse in circle on left rein or right rein and measuring the difference. If left leg is consistently short then there might be your indication of injury/lameness.
Chart below shows you similar information in a different format. In compares each of the metric with left and right. In example below, you can see though the right leg is quite short in stride during landing, overall the left leg is the one that is short in all the other metrics.
