产品说明
美国Mouse Specifics Inc.(MSI)公司的科学家和工程师根据多年的科研经验,于2004年开发的DigiGaitTM啮齿动物步态分析系统采用高速摄像机以底面向上的视角不断拍摄跑步机上行走或跑动的动物步态,经自动识别与分析,生成“数字爪印”和动态的步态信号,形成爪部相对于跑带位置的实时记录。由于此独特的跑步机设计,DigiGaitTM是唯一获得专利授权的啮齿动物步态分析系统,此专利验证了此套系统的实用性和创新性,以及对科学所做出的杰出贡献,其它任何技术仿造者都无法确保仪器的精确性和灵敏性。
工作原理
DigiGaitTM以底面向上的视角对动物在跑带上的步态进行自动识别与分析。高速数字摄像机以15OFPS的拍摄速率从下方拍摄行走中的动物,软件自动识别老鼠头部、尾部以及四肢,识别动物脚爪底部的颜色,以优于10msec的时间分辨率,生成“数字爪印”和动态的步态信号,形成爪部相对于跑带位置的实时记录。

步态分析是对行走方式的客观记录,并对运动协调功能系统评价的有效手段。通过对实验动物进行研究,揭示与运动相关的神经、骨骼、肌肉等系统疾病对步态的影响,以及康复研究效果的评估。包括并不限于脊髓损伤、中风、帕金森、阿尔兹海默症、关节炎、肌萎缩等运动相关的疾病。
DiGigait步态分析系统在避免人为刺激的条件下,通过检测四个脚爪的足迹、步态、速度,客观评估四肢间的协调性。广泛用于评估神经创伤、神经性萎缩、神经疾病、以及疼痛症状群的动物模型,可以了解神经疾病发展过程、评价治疗效果以及筛选治疗药物。
功能优秀,实验无忧
案例一
美国Baylor大学医学院主导发表的“RNA结合蛋白(Pum1)单倍体剂量不足导致脊髓小脑性共济失调性神经病变机制”文章中,通过使用DigiGait步态分析系统,得出研究实验结果:Pum1缺失小鼠步幅长度更短,步型(身体晃动)更大。与旷场实验、转棒仪实验,一同论证了Pum1缺失,会导致动物的运动协调性出现进行性缺失。其数据如下图所示:
At 12 weeks of age, Pum1−/− mice displayed a wider stance (J), decreased stride length (K), and increased stride frequency (L) compared to either WT or Pum1+/− littermates. Stance width and stride length were normalized to mouse width and body length, respectively. L = left, and R = Right. Twelve mice per genotype were analyzed.
案例二
斯坦福大学神经科学院主导发表的“对于用人类肌肉干细胞和其他肌肉原生细胞制成的生物结构可以在肌肉容积缺失(Volumetric muscle loss,VML)模型动物体内产生功能性肌肉组织”报道中提示:以干细胞为基础的诊疗手段,可作为治疗急性和慢性VML的有效途径。其中,使用DigiGait步态分析系统证实使用肌肉干细胞制成的生物结构,可以显著改善VML模型动物的运动状态,具体步态分析数据见下图:
Exercise improves innervation of de novo myofibres and improves forces in vivo. (a) Representative image of a mouse during a gait analysis (top) and the gait footprints collected during the analysis (bottom). Mice were positioned in a transparent treadmill and a camera was positioned underneath to record the gait. (b) Quantification of the gait ‘disability score’ resulting from the analysis of 47 parameters.
案例三
芝加哥大学神经科学院主导的“CACNA1A mRNA转录影响因子和二级蛋白a1ACT对于小脑早期编码的影响机制”研究中,使用步态分析系统联合转棒仪和旷场实验,论证了CACNA1A mRNA表达异常时,实验动物的运动机能和肢体协调能力显著降低,具体结果详见下图:
Reduced treadmill performance of KIKO mice is corrected by α1ACT expression and prevented by prenatal Dox treatment. Treadmill running speed and total travel distance are compared among mice with/without Dox (_1/+1M) treatment at 1 month old. Prenatal inhibition of a1ACT expression prevented the rescue of motor behavior of KIKO: PC-a1ACT mouse in treadmill (left), rotarod (middle), and open field (right).
