The equine hindlimb proximal suspensory ligament: an assessment of health and function by means of its damping harmonic oscillator properties, measured using an acoustic myography system. A new modality study

This study compared the in vivo acoustic signals generated by healthy and injured hindlimb proximal suspensory ligaments (PSL) in horses and determined if an acoustic myography (AMG) system was an acceptable tool to aid in diagnosis. Complete lameness evaluations were performed on 96 horses either with a history or suspicion of hind limb lameness. AMG signals were acquired with the aid of a CURO from the hindlimbs following a moving evaluation and prior to additional procedures.
