“…50,70 In 1995, a new rat gait analysis parameter was developed to measure recovery of function after a peroneal nerve crush injuryÐthe ankle angleÐevaluated in the 4 mid-swing and terminal swing. 71 Santos and colleagues proposed the determination of a two-dimensional geometric model of the ankle joint by intersecting lines passing through the knee to the ankle and from metatarsal head to ankle. Their postoperative kinematic data displayed an increased ankle angle related to the loss of dorsi¯exion.…”

Computerized rat gait analysis has become an invaluable technique of functional evaluation for some peripheral nerve investigators, comparing the normal and the pathological kinematic data. Appropriate selection of the methods to evaluate the functional outcome should be sensitive enough to moderate changes. By combining kinematic data and traditional methods in regeneration studies, it is possible to achieve better documentation of functional changes with the passage of time. A review of the three commonly kinematic parameters used in nerve regeneration studies, such as the calculation of sciatic function index, stance factor, and ankle angle, will provide the reader with detailed information about this accurate and consistent means of evaluating peripheral nerve function after nerve injury and repair. This study aims to review the different methods and potentialities of the rat gait kinematics as a noninvasive evaluation during regeneration, allowing for measurement of the rate of functional recovery in experimental studies.
