Description
The described system consists of four sensors on the legs of the horse and one sensor on the back of the horse, which is used to detect lameness in the early stages. Data from sensors equipped with accelerometers and transmitting data via Bluetooth to the rider’s phone at a frequency of 200 Hz is processed after each training session using neural networks and machine learning. The user is provided with graphs of the horse’s gait during training, average and maximum load per leg, total training time, and time spent at different gaits (such as walk, trot, and canter) in an application on his computer, phone, and personal account online. The innovation of the system is that it can detect lameness in the early stages, when it is not yet visible to the human eye, by analyzing sensor data using neural networks, and warning the rider about this.
The system can also provide a detailed analysis of the horse’s gait, including symmetry and load balance on each leg, and help the rider identify and correct any problems that may be contributing to the lameness. In addition, by tracking the horse’s gait over time, the system can help the rider monitor the progress of the horse’s recovery and adjust their training accordingly. Overall, the system can be used as a valuable tool for both riders and trainers to help improve the health and performance of their horses.
In addition to the features mentioned above, the system can also potentially be integrated with other forms of data and analysis, such as veterinary examinations and shoeing records, to provide a more complete picture of a horse’s health and well-being. The system can also potentially be used in other settings such as breeding and research to help improve the overall health and performance of the horse population.
It can also be used in competitions or shows to help judges and trainers evaluate a horse’s performance and identify any issues that may affect the horse’s score. Overall, the system can be a powerful tool for managing the health and performance of horses, providing valuable information, and helping to improve horse health.
