The Feasibility of Equine Field-Based Postural Sway Analysis Using a Single Inertial Sensor

(1) Background: Postural sway is frequently used to quantify human postural control, balance, injury, and neurological deficits. However, there is considerably less research investigating the value of the metric in horses. Much of the existing equine postural sway research uses force or pressure pla...
