Tekscan's Animal Walkway captures force and pressure, plus temporal (time) and spatial (distance) gait parameters, to evaluate animal gait, lameness and assess treatment plans. With a variety of sizes and resolution options, systems can accommodate a variety of animals ranging from rats, chickens, cats, sheep, cows and more.  

Why choose Tekscan's Animal Walkway?

• Save time with automated calculation of gait parameters
• Analyze the relationship between multiple paw/hoof strikes 
• Evaluate limb and hoof/paw vitality
• Objective documentation of mobility issues and progress in rehabilitation
