KS21: A powerful user- friendly solution
for real-time biomechanical analysis of rodent locomotion.

Locomotion is one of the most crucial tasks of mammals and depends of the coordinate functioning of several complex body systems. Thus, it is particularly difficult to characterize it using conventional tools.

Combining the high quality of the KS21-based technology with the power of EyeMotion2D® software KinéoSearch offers a unique platform to suit yours needs as well as your budget.

The KS21 computer-based locomotion analysis allows quantifying gait disorders during long periods of time over a treadmill‐walking corridor. By varying treadmill speed you can easily highlight functional changes by challenging different levels of locomotor control.

Gait biomechanics depends drastically on walking velocity :
KS21 allows setting up a walking speed permitting you to compare each individual within a group and/or each group within a protocol.

You can work on step-by-step or mean step kinematics and time-space locomotor values :

• Walking cadence
• Step length and duration
• Relative duration of stance and swing
• Angle range of motion of each join of the locomotor system
