MotoRater

Product catalog summary

Overview
The MotoRater is an innovative tool designed for automated kinematic movement and gait analysis in small laboratory animals, specifically mice and rats. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of motor functions through a single system that tests four different movement modalities and allows simultaneous observation from three sides of the animal.

Benefits

Automated and objective analysis of kinematic movement and gait.
Capable of testing multiple movement modalities including overground locomotion, skilled ladder walking, wading, and swimming.
Suitable for a wide range of animal models, including those with severe impairments.
Virtually unlimited parameters for analysis, enhancing the depth of research.

Research Applications
The MotoRater is applicable in various disease models such as ischemia, stroke, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and more. It is particularly useful for studying locomotor recovery, treatment efficacy, and aging.

System Features

Video acquisition through a high-speed "fish-eye objective" camera.
Automated tracking of body points for calculating joint angles, distances, velocity, and acceleration.
Over 100 kinematic gait parameters available for analysis.
Data smoothing, filtering, and graphical representation options.
Integration with external systems like EMG recordings for comprehensive analysis.

Publications
The MotoRater has been featured in numerous scientific publications, highlighting its utility in research on spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative disorders, and more. Notable journals include Nature and Cell.

Conclusion
The MotoRater offers a robust platform for detailed and standardized analysis of motor functions in small animals, facilitating translational research that can be applied to human disease studies.

TSE MotoRater can be integrated with other cutting-edge technologies As a synchronization hub, the trigger box allows advanced users to integrate external systems into the MotoRater. For example, EMG recordings can be triggered and observed directly in the TSE Motion software. Additionally, the wireless EMG option can be obtained through TSE Stellar Telemetry and wireless optogenetics. Selected Publications The MotoRater from TSE Systems is world-renowned among leading academic institutes, research centers, contract research organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. Dozens of scientific papers...
