Computerized Gait Analysis (CatWalk)
Objective: Measurement of sensorimotor coordination and gait parameters including regularity index and phase dispersion in mice subjected to whole brain irradiation
This is a Computerized Gait Analysis (CatWalk) protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2017 paper published in GeroScience.

Gait Analysis Testing
Mice were tested for sensorimotor coordination using computerized gait analysis (CatWalk) to measure gait parameters
Note: Testing performed at 3 to 6 months post-irradiation

“Mice were tested for spatial memory performance (radial arm water maze), sensorimotor coordination (computerized gait analysis, CatWalk)”
Gait Parameter Measurement
Gait parameters were measured including regularity index and phase dispersion to assess gait coordination
Note: Progressive impairment in gait coordination was assessed over time
