'The problem with gait analysis, as it currently stands, is the reliance on quantifying asymmetry between lame and compensating sides. This doesn't work in cases where the horse is bilaterally lame. Without a 'sound' baseline in the same horse to compare against, it makes bilateral lameness difficult to analyse. How would you separate a bilaterally lame gait from a poor gait emanating from poor conformation?' - Dr Bob Colborne
