Animal Gait Analysis Systems for Researcher and Veterinarians
Tekscan has designed animal gait systems for any application. From pet walkway systems to high-resolution small animal gait research tools and custom hoof systems for large animals, our pressure mapping systems and software have you covered.
Identify Lameness with Paw Pressure/ Force Data
Most animal gait analysis systems rely on motion capture or 3D video using markers. While these methods are adequate for analyzing movement and locomotion, they fail to provide critical data on pressure applied under the animal's foot. Underfoot pressure mapping data can provide incredible insights into factors affecting animal gait and potential pain areas.
