Advancing our understanding of equine muscle function through the integration of surface electromyography (sEMG) in equine gait analysis with Dr Lindsay St George
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.
For all attendees, CPD certificates are available as well as a “view only” recording of the session with a 30-day access pass. There will also be a Q and A session with ample opportunity to post questions via our interactive Q&A panel.
Dr Lindsay Blair St George
Lindsay is a Research Fellow at the University of Central Lancashire, where she completed her PhD in 2017. She is research active in equine and human biomechanics, 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. giving lectures at national and international veterinary congresses as well as participating in several national and international working groups and research projects – amongst them the ´International Task Force on Laterality in Sports Horses´, the ´Equine Spinal Initiative Group´, the ´International Manual Therapy Group´ and the ´Equine Congenital Cervico Thoracal Anatomical Variation Group´.
