Introduction
An animal gait analysis system is a laboratory system used for the analysis of the gait, or the walking pattern, of the small animals, such as the mice and the rats, and it is used in the neuroscience, the orthopedics, the pharmacology, and the behavioral research for the study of the locomotion and the motor function. The animal gait analysis system consists of a walkway with a glass or a transparent surface, a light source, a camera, and a software for the analysis, and it records the footprints of the animals as they walk across the walkway, and it analyzes the parameters of the gait, such as the stride length, the stance time, the swing time, the step width, and the paw pressure, and it provides the data for the assessment of the gait and the motor function; the animal gait analysis system is used for the study of the motor deficits in the models of the neurological diseases, such as the Parkinson's disease, the stroke, and the spinal cord injury, for the study of the effects of the drugs on the motor function, for the study of the pain and the inflammation, for the study of the musculoskeletal disorders, for the phenotyping of the genetically modified animals, and for many other applications, and it provides an objective and a quantitative analysis of the gait, with features such as the automated recording and the data analysis. Animal gait analysis systems are used in the neuroscience research, in the pharmaceutical companies, in the orthopedic research, in the universities, and for many other applications. With their gait analysis, animal gait analysis systems are essential for the study of the motor function.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this system used for?
A: It captures and quantifies gait and locomotion in laboratory animals to assess motor function, injury, disease models and drug effects, using a walkway or treadmill with cameras or sensors.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It is built for animal research under institutional animal care protocols and related equipment safety standards, with measurement accuracy validated.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The system carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering the hardware and software. Cables and sensors are wear parts. Damage from misuse or unauthorized repair is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained staff for animal habituation, setup and analysis. We provide a manual, installation and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: Performance should be verified periodically using calibrated reference standards, with results logged in the equipment record. Most users perform this check every 6 to 12 months or according to their internal quality schedule. We provide the procedure, reference materials and formal calibration service if required.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: Animal fixtures are species-specific, while cables and cleaning supplies are standard. Ongoing cost is moderate.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include species, walkway or treadmill, camera setup, parameters and advanced analysis software. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: Standard delivery includes the system and manual. On-site installation and training are typically included or recommended.
Q10: What subjects are compatible?
A: It handles validated laboratory species with appropriate setups. It is not for human clinical gait, species beyond configuration, or studies without ethical approval.
