Why the DigiGait™ Imaging System is the most cited high performance instrument for gait analysis in rodents. Mouse Specifics introduced ventral plane videography and the DigiGait™ Imaging System in 2004. This powerful technology is imitated and compared by devices that aim to provide as comprehensive gait analysis as does DigiGait™. Yet, only DigiGait™ offers a complete turnkey solution for gait analysis in mice, rats, and guinea pigs.
