The Equinosis Practitioner Certification Program

The mission of the Equinosis Practitioner Certification Program is to instill capable and confident objective evaluators and Equinosis Q users by standardizing and defining the skills and knowledge required of those offering objective lameness evaluation services. 

If used correctly, inertial sensors will measure precisely how the patient moves. A capable objective lameness evaluator understands not only how to collect the data, but how to apply the biomechanical principles in a clinical setting.

The Program advances objective lameness care through a structured, competency-based training program, ensuring participants are educated in providing a properly informed evaluation.

Equinosis created the Program to encourage training participation and to distinguish those who make the effort to master the material. 

Process
