Abstract excerpt
A locomotion analysis system for laboratory rats is presented. The system produces locomotion parameters (LPs) in 4 different domains: force, space, time and frequency. Video images of the walking rats are used to associate the system signals with individual limbs. Numerous LPs can be derived for every test run when the rat walks through the system on the way to sweets and a personal toy placed at the exit. This...
