Automated Foot Misplacement – Kinetic Weight Bearing Test

The Kinetic Weight Bearing (KWB) system is an alternative method generating quantitative data on footprints and gait in spontaneously moving animals. 

  • Real time analysis and review process embedded in a single application programme interface
  • Available for rats and for mice
  • Measures gait parameters as well as max force/propulsion time applied for each step and each paw laid on the floor
  • Correct trials detected (speed) and automatically split from A SINGLE video file
  • Records Gravity Center Path and video barycenter
  • Displays each run results and averaged results from homogeneous runs
  • Automatic software routine for paw identification from the first step to the end of the run
  • Front wall easily removable for cleaning
  • Adjustable corridor width
  • Target zone fits animal home cage

Manual Foot Misplacement Corridor (Panlab)

The foot misplacement corridor test is used for assessing motor coordination and balance (gait control) in small laboratory animal (rats and mice). 

  • Manual foot misplacement corridor
  • djustable corridor width
  • Adjustable space between bars
