Second generation robotic systems for studying rodent locomotion following spinal cord injury

Second generation robotic systems for studying rodent locomotion following spinal cord injury

This paper describes the development of two generations of robotic systems to assist in quantifying and training treadmill locomotion in spinal-injured rodents. Design principles identified with the first generation systems and their incorporation into second-generation systems are described.
