lameness assessment

Lameness assessment is a method used by veterinarians and animal health experts to evaluate how an animal moves when it's not standing or walking normally. It helps identify if there's pain, injury, or a problem in a limb or joint. The process involves observing the animal’s gait, checking for signs like limping, uneven weight distribution, or hesitation. Sometimes, specific tests or traces are used to pinpoint the affected area. This assessment is essential for diagnosing issues early, guiding treatment, and ensuring the animal's comfort and proper recovery.
