Equine Gait Analysis Society

This post-graduate course for equine veterinarians approaches all aspects related to the clinical application of quantitative gait analysis in horses.

The Equine Gait Analysis Society and its course is a shared idea of dr. Filipe Serra Bragança and dr. Aagje Hardeman:

‘We both did our PhD on the clinical application of equine gait analysis and noticed the enormous gap between science and clinician in this field. Knowledge was not readable or clinically useful for orthopaedic vets, neither was it organised in a structured matter.

This project is our joined dream. We will make all scientific knowledge understandable and useful for clinicians in such way that quantitative gait analysis will bring equine orthopaedics to a higher level!’

Do you want to know more about this technology and become a certified gait analysis user? Join our course!

Aim of Equine Gait Analysis Society

After this course, you:

• are familiar with all available validated veterinary gait analysis methods and equipment
• have had the opportunity to work extensively with all validated gait analysis equipment
• have knowledge of all necessary backgrounds concerning biomechanics and physics around quantitative gait analysis technology
• are able to collect/can delegate your technicians to collect high-quality data
• are able to do evidence-based data interpretation of your own and/or someone else’s data
• have a broad network of equine orthopaedic veterinarians working with equine gait analysis in a clinical setting
• remain a member of the Equine Gait Analysis Society, enabling you to discuss cases with colleagues and receive the latest news around equine quantitative gait analysis, both scientific and clinical.

Target audience for Equine Gait Analysis

Equine veterinarians, veterinary specialists (ECVS, ACVS, ECVSMR, ACVSMR), PhD students.

During our programme you will learn, both in theory and in practice, all aspects around the clinical application of quantitative gait analysis. The programme is lectured by academic and clinical experts from around the world, and is based on evidence-based content.

The programme is composed of 5 modules of 2 days each, which you will need to attend live. All modules will take place in Europe. In between, you continue to study in our e-learning environment, in which you can find all course material, extra in-depth material, scientific papers to be studied for the examination, interesting links and an online community to ask questions and discuss cases with your colleagues.

Investment of additional time will be necessary for the preparation of the theoretical tests as well as for the final examination.

Time investment:

• 5 modules of 2 days, live at several elite clinics and universities in Europe
• 70h of lectures and 144h of self-study in e-learning

The course fee is €6500 ex. VAT.

This includes:

• 5 modules of 2 days, live at several elite clinics and universities in Europe
• Catering during all modules
• Social program during all modules
• E-learning environment during one year
• Participation in all theoretical tests
• One-off participation in the final examination
• EGAS member during 2 years
