I wanted to take a few minutes and talk to you about Tendiboots and how I have incorporated them into my practice over the last year.
First and foremost, TB have become an integral part of any performance exam work up. The exams are quick and take roughly 5-10 minutes to perform by two of my Veterinary Technicians. This is all done while I’m discussing the medical history and primary complaint with the client. When finished with the exam , my techs put in front of me valuable information taken at the walk, trot, and moving both directions on the lunge line. The information is presented in an easy to understand format and is saved to the cloud for future reference.
Tendiboots do not “ give me the answer”. They do not take the place of a thorough hands on static and dynamic exam. What they are is another important tool in my diagnostic tool box. They give me “check engine lights”, just like my thorough history, hands, eyes, and diagnostic imaging give me.
Tendiboots have also proved invaluable in cases where I am rehabbing an injury and the patient may appear sound or much improved but the tendiboots give me an indication there is still a discrepancy that allows to know when to slow down or when to speed up my rehabilitation program.
Overall I can highly recommend their use for any Equine Practice doing lameness and performance evaluations. Morgane and Ste’phane always are available for technical questions and support during important software updates.
We love our Tendiboots and wouldn’t practice without them!!

I have found the Tendiboots to be very easy to set up and start to use. The customer service at Ekico has been wonderful - they are always very fast to reply by email - thank you! I am looking forward to using the Tendiboots more regularly as a fantastic new addition to my lameness & gait evaluation services.

Les données des Tendiboots me sont particulièrement utiles pour des détections fines et précoces. Je connais les chevaux que je suis à quasiment 100%, les guêtres sont utiles pour orienter la recherche diagnostic dans les derniers % que l'on ne détecte pas à l'œil nu. Les clients apprécient aussi l'outil car ils ne voient pas toujours les améliorations de la locomotion lors des anesthésies étagées par exemple. Avec des chiffres cela peut les aider à mieux comprendre.
C'est une technologie qui est selon moi à vraiment utiliser par le vétérinaire, car pour bien utiliser les données, il faut les intégrer dans une observation globale du cheval, ce qui est notre rôle en tant que professionnel.

Utile pour mettre en évidence les problèmes subcliniques, évaluer les améliorations post-thérapie et/ou post-ferrage, surveiller l'état de santé des chevaux performants.

We do a lot of examinations with the Tendiboots at the moment. I had some interesting findings recently. At first I wasn’t able to detect lameness at the straight line myself. Boots did detect lameness at straight line. I was able then to detect lameness on the longe left hand (fore left), and the boots confirmed that. After palmar block we saw and the boots an impressive improvement fore left. So I think there is a future for this kind of sensors.
