Abstract:Background: Gait analysis in non-human primate models has been performed to elucidate the neural systems involved in controlling quadrupedal locomotor behavior. This study aimed to use a pressure-sensing walkway to identify characteristics of species-specific quadrupedal locomotion in rhesus monkeys. A total of nine healthy adult female rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were used for gait analysis. We measured the temporo-spatial and kinetic parameters of quadrupedal gait using a custom-built pressure-sensing wa… Show more
