Protocol Steps
1
Phenotype Assessment using SHIRPA Protocol
Conduct phenotype assessment using the SHIRPA protocol prior to gait analysis
Not specifiedNot specified
Note: SHIRPA protocol assessment performed before automated gait analysis
View evidence from paper
“Phenotype assessment using the SHIRPA protocol and subsequent automated gait analysis using the CatWalk system”
2
Automated Gait Analysis
Perform automated gait analysis using the CatWalk system to measure paw print area, base of support, and gait patterns
Not specifiedNot specified
Note: Measures both fore- and hindpaw parameters
View evidence from paper
“automated gait analysis using the CatWalk system revealed unsteady gait with strongly reduced paw print area for both fore- and hindpaws and reduced base of support for the hindpaws”
