RunwayScan
RunwayScan is a component of our NeurodegenScan Suite. RunwayScan system meets the needs for gait analysis of animals. Gait analysis allows highly sensitive, noninvasive detection and evaluation of many pathophysiological conditions, such as those occurring in Spinal Cord Injury, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, arthritis, pain, neuromuscular and skeletal muscle diseases.
RunwayScan system takes video of animal (mouse or rat) walking on a clear walkway either in the dark or using normal light conditions. The video of the ventral view (underside view) of the animal is obtained using one or more high‐speed digital cameras. The video essentially captures the foot prints of the animal as they walk/run on the walkway. RunwayScan can work with videos taken from any walkway that allows the capture of its footprints on any video capturing hardware system with a high‐speed camera.
