Gait and Locomotion Analysis

Gait and Locomotion Analysis

Gait is analyzed to understand the effects of disease and injuries on animal movement.  At our EAPL location, we have multiple means of quantifying motion including: 2 force plates, a Tekscan pressure walkway (Strideway), a Qualisys kinematic system, and a Companion stance analyzer for small to medium-sized animals.   

If interested in any of these services, please contact Tanya Garcia-Nolen.
