Basic Experimental arrangement: A: Four plates form a runway. The gaps between plates were each under 2mm. The central two plates are instrumented with ATI 3/10 gamma sensors. A rat with or without implanted EMG electrodes traverses the runway and video data views of body motion and footfall are collected synchronized +/− 16.7ms with forces. The data collection can be qualitatively divided into three phases shown B–D. B: Phase I. When the rat is wholly supported by the first plate, its sensor can resolve net translational force and center of pressure. C:Phase II. While spanning the central two plates forelimb and hindlimb contributions to net force can be measured. D: after full transfer to the second instrumented plate Phase III begins.
