TSE MotoRater System

TSE MotoRater系统

The TSE MotoRater represents a novel set-up for standardized quantitative and objective kinematic evaluation of animal movement types not restricted to mere foot prints. The unique modular design of the TSE MotoRater allows the investigation of rats and mice during skilled walking on a ladder or beam, overground walking, wading and swimming. Objective, sensitive and specific readouts of locomotor impairments, recovery or improvement can be obtained. Moreover, movements of all relevant body parts, i.e. forelimbs, hindlimbs, trunk and tail can be assessed and correlated, leading to a complete profile of the animal's motor abilities. As a consequence, the TSE MotoRater is an improvement in the standardization of behavioral assessment of rodent locomoter skills by replacing traditional scoring methods. All these measurements can be taken by a single experimenter.
TSE精细运动动态评估系统开创了新型的可以客观评价及标准化量化动物精细运动的评估方法，使得动物精细运动的评价不仅仅局限于步态分析。它*的模块化设计非常适用于分析大鼠和小鼠在阶梯或横梁上行走、平地行走、涉水行走和游泳时的运动能力。因此可以客观、灵敏和详细的得到动物运动损伤、恢复和改善前后的运动学数据。除此之外，前肢、后肢、躯干和尾巴等身体各个部分的相关运动也可被逐一分析，并转换成为一个完整的动物运动轮廓动态图。因此，TSE精细运动动态评估系统通过取代传统的运动学评分方法对大小鼠运动行为标准化评估进行了巨大的改进。以上所有的运动测试都可以由单人操作完成。
An arrangement of mirrors allows the recording of animals from the left and right side and from below at the same time. A color-based tracking software allows automatic tracking of an unlimited number of markers, such as knee, toe, hip or iliac crest and other skin overlying anatomical landmarks. Therefore, a variety of behaviorally meaningful parameters can be obtained and are accompanied by detailed biomechanical measurements.
TSE精细运动动态评估系统通过一组镜面同时从动物左侧、右侧和底部进行拍摄。强大的彩色追踪软件可以自动追踪多个标记，比如膝盖、脚趾、臀部或髂骨以及其他解剖学上的标记等。因此我们可以获得多种有意义的行为学数据并附带详细的生物力学评估数据。
