Overview
A novel system for automated quantitative gait analysis in rodents.Objectively and rapidly measure a range of gait parameters including phases and pressure.How does it work?
1). An animal traverses the walkway in a darkened room.
2). Light strikes the walkway from beneath. Where the animals paws touch the glass it is scattered.
3). A video feed of the pattern of light scattering is automatically analysed by the CatWalk software.
