CatWalk Gait Analysis
Objective: Assessment of motor coordination and pain-related behavioral measurements using automated gait analysis in astrocyte-specific trkB.T1 knockout mice after spinal cord injury
This is a CatWalk Gait Analysis protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2017 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

CatWalk Gait Analysis Assessment
Perform gait analysis measurements on astrocyte-specific trkB.T1 knockout mice and wildtype controls after spinal cord injury using the CatWalk system
Note: Measurements include mechanical allodynia and pain-related behavioral assessments; used to evaluate motor coordination and hyperpathic responses
View evidence from paper
“using mechanical allodynia and pain-related measurements on the CatWalk, these animals also showed reduced hyperpathic responses, along with improved motor coordination”
