Gait Assessment System

ine kinematic gait analysis in four modalities: walking, ladder walking, wading, and swimming

Observation and analysis of three animal sides (ventral, lateral, and right/left)Data from all pertinent body parts, not just the paws

Movement analysis is performed by analyzing the trajectories of joint positions and angles, which are associated with their respective properties (e.g., velocity and acceleration).In excess of one hundred parameters

MotoRater permits the identification of subtle to severe gait changes in a variety of animal models due to its high sensitivity.Combines with a variety of other techniques, including telemetry, optogenetics, and electrophysiology.MotoRater is a system that assesses the kinematic gait of rodents with a high degree of sensitivity. It is capable of evaluating four distinct motion modalities: overground walking, skilled ladder walking, wading in water, and swimming. Contrary to conventional methods, MotoRater enables the testing of animals in water, providing an unparalleled opportunity to assess severely impaired rodent models that would be incapable of supporting their body weight on solid ground.input:
output:In order to ensure the accurate identification of subtle deviations, early symptom onset, and treatment effects, MotoRater simultaneously observes the animal from three sides (ventral, left, right) and provides detailed readouts of all body parts relevant to the motion, including the paws, ankles, joints, tail, head, hip, and iliac crest. MotoRater facilitates the integration of external devices (EEG, EMG) and the implementation of alternative methodologies (e.g., electro-myographic recordings Zörner et al 2010 and optogenetics Bouvier et al 2015).
