Biomechanical variables in Icelandic horse riders and the effect on tölt performance: A pilot study.
PLoS One
June 2023
Swedish Winter Sports Research Centre, Department of Health Sciences, Mid Sweden University, Östersund, Sweden.
Aim: To identify how riding rein direction (left and right) and rider asymmetry affect tölt performance in Icelandic horses.
Methods: Two horses were ridden in tölt by four riders on both left and right reins. Riders wore pressure insoles that measured the total absolute force (FAbs) and absolute force difference (FDiff) in their left and right feet in the stirrups.
The Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire has poor diagnostic accuracy in people with intermittent claudication.
Vascular
February 2023
Academic Vascular Surgical Unit, 12195Hull York Medical School, Hull, UK.
Background: The screening and diagnosis of intermittent claudication is a challenging process and often relies on the expertise of specialist vascular clinicians. We sought to investigate the diagnostic performance of the Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire (ECQ) as a screening tool for referrals of suspected intermittent claudication from primary to secondary care.
Method: Prospectively, 100 referrals from primary care with a stated diagnosis or query regarding intermittent claudication were recruited.

Objective: Activation of the trunk and lower limb muscles, namely the multifidus, rectus abdominis, rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior, was analyzed using surface electromyographyin 40 young, healthy, and sedentary individuals.
Methods: Data were collected from sneaker-clad subjects with independent gait and during hippotherapy using saddles and blankets, with the feet in and out of the stirrups.
Results: Surface electromyography results demonstrated a statistically significantly greater activation of the rectus femoris comparison to tibialis anterior muscle during hippotherapy.
The Effect of Stirrup Iron Style on Normal Forces and Rider Position.

Michigan State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation, East Lansing, MI. Electronic address:
The stirrup iron has the potential to modify the forces experienced by a horse and rider during ridden exercise. A range of stirrup designs are available, but no previous studies have investigated if these modifications influence riders' position and interaction with the horse. Novel flexible (F) or flexible and rotatable (FR) irons versus traditional (T) stirrups may positively impact the welfare and performance of the horse and rider.

There is a paucity of evidence on the effect that rider asymmetry has on equine locomotion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rider asymmetry on equine locomotion by using a novel approach to induce rider asymmetry. Ten nonlame horses were recruited for this study.
