Why gait analysis matters
Understanding how animals move reveals more than just motor function. It unlocks insights into neurological, musculoskeletal, and pain-related conditions. Gait analysis offers a non-invasive, highly sensitive way to quantify subtle changes in movement.
- Detect subtle motor and neural changes
- Bridge animal models to human conditions
- Automate and quantify gait with precision

Common questions
What types of research use gait analysis?
Gait analysis is commonly used to study models of Parkinson’s, stroke, nerve injury, arthritis, and other neurological or musculoskeletal disorders.
Why use rodents for gait studies?
Rodents offer reliable preclinical models with measurable gait patterns that translate well to human neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
How is data collected and analyzed?
Automated systems like CatWalk capture and analyze paw placement, stride, coordination, and timing to produce high-resolution, reproducible results.
