In the study of injury rehabilitation in small animal models (mice), disabled mice are unable to walk independently. This device can assist mice in ambulation after weight loss. It is applicable in the rehabilitation process for spinal cord injuries, nerve damage, fractures, altitude frostbite, and more. Comparative studies of small animal models (mice) can compare and analyze the efficacy of different treatment methods, and assess treatment outcomes through precise kinematic data analysis.
The HAM Rehabilitation Assistant Walking Movement Analysis Platform consists of three parts: the Weight-Reducing Assistant Walking Module, the Gait Analysis Module, and the Force Measurement Module.
Rodent Weight Reduction Walking Assistance Module: Consists of a rodent treadmill, walking assistance device, master control unit, and electrical control system software. Features adjustable weight reduction ratio and controllable treadmill speed, as well as weight reduction device angle. Can be used in conjunction with a high-speed video motion analysis system to observe and evaluate gait during the treatment process.
Rat Gait Analysis Module: Utilizes four high-speed cameras to capture clear videos of rat movement, processed through specialized software to extract the rat's limb joint trajectories, velocity, and acceleration in three-dimensional space. It also analyzes the body joint angles and angular velocities, stride frequency, stride length, step height, swing phase and swing time, and stance phase cycles. Additionally, it measures distances between body parts (points), angles between the model's foot claws, and bending angles of the foot joint. This module can analyze the overall movement behavior characteristics of animals within the video range, as well as the detailed movement postures of specific limbs. The analysis process does not interfere with the animal model.
Mini Animal Model (Mouse) Force Plate Module (Customized): Comprises a dedicated force plate and software, capable of measuring the six-dimensional force data of each paw's impact on the ground for the mouse model, and integrating this with weight reduction and gait data for comprehensive analysis.
Rat Training Track (Customized): Custom-designed tracks with varying terrains and lengths to meet research and rehabilitation training needs. The above data can be combined with rat EMG (Electromyography) and EEG (Electroencephalogram) data for comprehensive research and comparative analysis.
