RunwayScan: Gait Analysis for Runway
The RunwayScan system delivers fully automated, high‑precision gait analysis for rodents moving freely along a flat runway, purpose‑built for demanding preclinical research. Using advanced AI-based video tracking, it captures each paw placement and stride in real time, extracting detailed spatiotemporal metrics such as stance and swing times, stride length, cadence, inter‑limb coordination, and symmetry indices. These objective, repeatable measures enable sensitive detection of subtle motor impairments, compensatory strategies, recovery trajectories, and drug or lesion effects that traditional manual scoring often misses. Standardized runway geometry and lighting ensure high reproducibility across cohorts, sites, and longitudinal studies. RunwayScan is ideal for neurology, pain, and movement disorder models where rigorous, high‑throughput locomotor assessment is critical for meeting regulatory expectations and supporting robust, publication‑quality data.
