Stride Analysis

Stride analysis: Stride or gait analysis places an animal in a confined inclined runway with ink on the plantar surface of its feet on fresh unmarked paper. The tracks left after ascending the runway are later measured for stride length and width, foot placement, splay, and symmetry. This test measures motor control and is dependent on cerebellar function. The test is manually scored.
