Combined CatWalk Index: an improved method to measure mouse motor function using the automated gait analysis system
Abstract Objective Measuring motor function in mice is important for studying models of spinal cord injury (SCI) or other diseases. Several methods exist based on visual observation of mice moving in an open field. Though these methods require very little equipment, observers must be trained, and th...
