Clinically Controlled Equine Studies
Streamz Global highly value the need to show our readers how our unique magnetic technology creates results. The following independent clinically-controlled studies have been carried out using EQU StreamZ Horse Bands.
Clinically Controlled Equine Studies
JOINT MOBILITY
Carried out on 25 horses
Double-blind under clinical conditions
This study was carried out across 25 horses in the full time care at Writtle University. Each horse was evaluated using industry leading technologies on their tarsal joint (hock) mobility and the correlation between the use of StreamZ technology and an increase in tarsal joint mobility.
STUDY CONCLUSION:
“In conclusion, it was possible to demonstrate a correlation between the use of the EQU StreamZ fetlock bands and improved tarsal joint mobility, most notably in the flexion phase of the stride… a significant difference was demonstrated in the parameters assessed, and with the support of objective measures in place, bias was removed from the trial, thus, further reinforcing the quantitative nature of the findings.
On this basis, the suggestion could be made for the use of the bands within sporting and injury recovery parameters, as well as part of well-being and maintenance protocols – most particularly noted for use on horses suffering from joint degeneration.”

OVERTRACK (GAIT) STUDY
Carried out on 25 horses
Double-blind under clinical conditions
This study was carried out across 25 horses in the full time care at Writtle University. Each horse was evaluated using industry leading technologies on their overtrack performance (gait analysis) and the correlation between the use of StreamZ technology and an improvement in gait. (the way a horse stands and walks)
STUDY CONCLUSION:
“After a trial period of 21 days this study found that the horses in the treatment group showed a significant increase in overtrack.
Although the StreamZ EQU bands are not designed to replace conventional medical treatment, some of which are known to produce unpleasant and unhelpful side effects, veterinarians could safely offer this alternative form of complementary and alternative therapy.”
This study does not represent 'clinical proof' but does indicate for marketing purposes that StreamZ creates an impact on a horses gait.

HOCK MOBILITY
Carried out on 6 Veteran horses
Double-blind under clinical conditions
This study was carried out across 6 veteran horses over the ages of 15 in the full time care at Myerscough College. The study was to establish the correlation between the use of StreamZ technology and an improvement in stride lengths directly relating to the hock joint.
STUDY CONCLUSION:
“The results gained from this study exhibited a clear trend in data that showed that the use of EQU StreamZ advanced magnetic bands on veteran horses had a significant difference on the horses’ hock flexibility and provided valuable information to support the use of magnetic bands on veteran horses to support the flexibility of their hock joints and potentially relieve pain in the joints.”
