The splay angle: A new measure for assessing neuromuscular dysfunction in rats.

Abstract excerpt

This report describes a new method, the splay angle measures, to determine neuromuscular dysfunction. Splay angles are measured from a standard splay test and define hind limb orientation quantified, in degrees, by the paw strike of the hind limbs. We used mutant rats, presenting with a chronic central nervous system demyelinating disease, characterized by tremor, ataxia, immobility, epilepsy, and paralysis...
