Catwalk system is a complete tool for quantitative evaluation of animal footsteps and gait in mouse models. The core component of the system is the walking platform, and the mouse can walk from one end of the walking platform to the other. The system uses the bright refraction technology of footprints to capture the real footprints through the high-speed camera under the walking platform. The technology can also detect the difference in foot pressure, which is the result of the different distribution of weight on the four claws when the animal walks.
