Advancing our understanding of equine muscle function through the integration of surface electromyography (sEMG) in equine gait analysis.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is gaining popularity within the ever-growing field of equine biomechanics. This is mainly due to the recognition that integration of sEMG in equine gait analysis is important for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of equine locomotion. This presentation will provide an overview of the use of sEMG in equine gait analysis, covering both clinical and sports performance applications.

Lindsay is a Research Fellow at the University of Central Lancashire, where she completed her PhD in 2017. She is active in equine and human biomechanics research, with a special interest in using surface electromyography to investigate how equine muscles facilitate movement. She is a 2021 Morris Animal Foundation Fellowship recipient and is working to evaluate the impact of equine lameness on movement and muscle activity with colleagues at Utrecht University and Delsys/Altec Inc. Lindsay is involved in several other national and international equine research collaborations, as well as supervising postgraduate student research.
