Abstract
Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide techniques for analyzing rodent gait that addresses the confound of interdependency of gait variables to provide more accurate and reproducible results. In embodiments, multidimensional analysis of gait in animals, such as rodents, may be performed. For example, in an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of animal gait analysis may comprise capturing data relating to steps taken a plurality of animal test subjects, performing a multidimensional analysis of the captured data to generate data describing a gait of the animal test subjects, and outputting data characterizing the gait of the animal test subjects.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method of animal gait analysis, the method comprising:
- capturing data relating to steps taken a plurality of animal test subjects;
- performing a multidimensional analysis of the captured data to generate data describing a gait of the animal test subjects;
- and
- outputting data characterizing the gait of the animal test subjects.
A system for animal gait analysis, the system comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to perform:
- capturing data relating to steps taken a plurality of animal test subjects;
- performing a multidimensional analysis of the captured data to generate data describing a gait of the animal test subjects;
- and
- outputting data characterizing the gait of the animal test subjects.
A computer program product for animal gait analysis, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer, to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- capturing data relating to steps taken a plurality of animal test subjects;
- performing a multidimensional analysis of the captured data to generate data describing a gait of the animal test subjects;
- and
- outputting data characterizing the gait of the animal test subjects.
