DigiGait is now the most widely published ventral plane videography instrumentation available for gait analysis in laboratory animals.
Voluntary and treadmill walking, DigiGait performs gait analysis of mice and rats over a range of walking and running speeds. Ventral Plane Imaging (VPI) Technology continuously images the underside of the animals walking atop of the patented motorized transparent treadmill belt, generating “digital paw prints” and dynamic gait signals. These dynamic gait signals, generated for each of the 4 limbs, describe the posture and kinematics of the animals that reflect strength, balance, and coordination. Animals can also be challenged to walk up an incline or down a decline to maximize the details about the subjects’ motor abilities.
DigiGait´s research areas include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury, arthritis, traumatic brain injury, and nerve injury.
