Agreement between veterinarians and three objective evaluation systems in naturally occurring equine lameness
This work highlights the utility of commercially available objective evaluation systems, including the more recent ES system. Hindlimb asymmetries had lower agreement regardless of evaluator type. Objective systems had higher agreements when compared with subjective straight-line veterinary examination. The ability to uniformly assess asymmetries may assist diagnosis when compared with subjective evaluation alone.
