Explanation:
"The standing force plate measures fluctuations in weight bearing of one limb at a time. Fluctuations in the ability of a leg support weight with a constant force pressure are computed in the form of a histogram with a resultant relative standard deviation, or FPU. The lower the FPU, the sounder the limb, indicating that it can support weight evenly. The higher the FPU, the lamer the limb, indicating instability in weight bearing which is caused by pain when a sore leg is in support. Lameness is also evaluated by comparison of the FPU of the affected leg and the contralateral normal leg which serves as a control.

Front limbs are tested by having the horse stand quietly with the test leg centered over the plate, and the contralateral front leg held up. Each leg is tested 4 times, and on each test day both front limbs are evaluated.

The horses in this study has lameness in one front limb only, and in either the carpus or the fetlock joint only. Twenty-four horses participated in all. Four served as untreated controls, two of which were subsequently treated and re-evaluated on the force plate. Therefore twenty-two horses were evaluated prior to Synacid treatment and for 3 weeks following treatment."
