TABLE 1.

Gait analysis in Drd2I212F mice.

Results are shown for selected measures of gait obtained using a DigiGait treadmill. Time measurements (swing, time spent swinging the limb forward; propel, time spent in propulsion with the paw pushing backward; brake) are in milliseconds, length measurements (stride length; stance width) are in centimeters, and stride frequency is strides per second. A spreadsheet with the data for 42 measures of gait, including the seven shown here, is available in the Supplemental material (raw digigait data.xlsx).
