Emma Persson-Sjödin nailing her theses

Emma Persson-Sjödin

On the 28th of February Emma Persson-Sjödin nailed her theses entitled "Evaluation of vertical movement asymmetries in riding horses- relevance to equine orthopaedics.

The thesis investigates the clinical significance and interpretation of vertical movement asymmetries in riding horses under different circumstances. Pain medication proved ineffective in reducing movement asymmetries in riding horses in training while 'rising trot' induced movement asymmetries. The challenging discrimination between true forelimb lameness and compensatory head movement asymmetry could be facilitated by concurrent evaluation of withers movement symmetry. The public defence will take place on september 25th.

Equine Science Unit

We give the only university programme in Sweden that specialises in equine science. The Equine Science Program is unique because of it's combination of both theory and practical educadion.

For a long animal life in motion

This research is centered around three main themes: applied biomechanics, evaluation of pain and an exploration of artificial intelligence for more effective and faster diagnosing with the help of machine learning and computer vision.
