CONTENT DESCRIPTION

  • 60 min   Advances in Objective Gait Analysis for Sport Horse Diagnosis   Dr. Kevin Keegan
  • 60 min   Objective Gait Analysis in TB Racehorse   Dr. David Lambert
  • 30 min   Integrating Standing CT and Scintigraphy Findings with Gait Analysis for Comprehensive Diagnosis   Dr. Chris Whitton

Kevin, a Missouri native, graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. He began his career in private equine practice, working in Maryland and Delaware for three years. In 1989, Kevin completed a three-year equine surgery residency and earned a Master of Science degree at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. During this time, he gained expertise in statics and dynamics, experimental stress analysis, biomedical instrumentation, and signal processing.

After finishing his surgery residency, Kevin returned to private practice near Detroit, Michigan, focusing on equine surgery and lameness. In 1990, he joined the University of Missouri as a clinical instructor and was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1991, and to Associate Professor in 1998. He is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgery.

Kevin's primary research interest lies in using computer-assisted gait analysis to diagnose lameness in horses. He is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association, the American Association of Equine Practitioners, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.

More Info

Chris is a leading researcher in equine orthopedics at the University of Melbourne, where he employs a multidisciplinary approach involving biomechanics, microstructural analysis, and epidemiology. His work integrates clinical focus, drawing on his expertise as a specialist equine surgeon at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where he has been since November 2004, investigating and treating lameness in horses.

Chris's journey includes specialist training at the University of Sydney, where he earned a PhD, followed by work as a specialist surgeon and scientist at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, England. He later ran his own referral practice and scintigraphy unit at the Newcastle Equine Centre from 1999 to 2004.

Chris has a strong track record of lecturing and publishing extensively on lameness and musculoskeletal injury prevention. His current research interests focus on equine limb function, subchondral bone, and mathematical modeling of equine limb injuries
