步态分析在许多疾病模型的神经功能评估中起着重要作用。在这篇综述中，我们专注于新开发的步态分析CatWalk系统。CatWalk最初是作为一种工具开发的，以加强评估脊髓损伤（SCI）模型的功能结果。虽然它在其他（神经性）疼痛和周围神经损伤的模型中也有价值，但我们将其限制在SCI模型中的使用。该系统被定位对完善的运动功能测试，它表明如何猫走可以提高这种测试的有用性。该系统的开发始于对协调进行客观评估的想法，如今，CatWalk提供的分析选项中包含了强大的协调措施。因此，本次审查的主要部分是专门讨论这些协调措施的历史和意义。
Gait analysis plays an important role in the assessment of neurological function in many disease models. In this review, we focus on the newly developed CatWalk system for gait analysis. CatWalk was originally developed as a tool to enhance assessment of functional outcome in spinal cord injury (SCI) models. Although it is also of value in models of among others (neuropathic) pain and peripheral nerve damage, we will limit ourselves to its use in SCI models in this review. The system is positioned against well-established locomotor function tests, and it is indicated how CatWalk can enhance the usefulness of such tests. Development of the system started with the idea that it should enable objective assessment of coordination, and powerful measures of coordination are nowadays included in the analysis options provided by CatWalk. Therefore, a major part of this review is devoted to the history and meaning of these coordination measures.
