Abstract
The aim of the present study is to assess the relevance of weight-bearing distribution (DWB) measurement in freely moving rats after stroke and thoracic spinal cord injuries. Animals were divided in 2 experiments: (1) The middle cerebral artery occlusion-reperfusion (MCAO-r) experiment containing the MCAO group in which focal brain ischaemia was induced by transient MCA occlusion and (2) the thoracic hemisection experiment containing the TH group in which a spinal cord hemisection was performed at the T10 level. A Control and respective Sham groups were also included in each experiment. Not only the pressure exerted by each paw was measured but also different ratios such as: (1) the sum of the right and the left forepaws was normalized by the sum of the right and the left hindpaws (F/H), (2) the left forepaw was normalized by the right forepaw (LF/RF), (3) the left hindpaw was normalized by the right hindpaw (LH/RH). Additionally, the times spent on 3 paws and on 4 paws were measured. Only the time spent on 4 paws was shorter in the MCAO group than in the Control (p < 0.001) and in the Sham (p < 0.01) groups. The LH/RH ratio of the TH group at the 1st week was lower (p < 0.01) than the pre-surgical value. Moreover, its F/H ratio was superior (p < 0.001) to the ones of the Control and the Sham groups. Our study indicates that DWB should be more frequently used to evaluate both the severity of central nervous system traumas and the effectiveness of pharmacological and/or rehabilitation strategies.

                    [description_short] => 
The advanced version of our Dynamic Weight Bearing Test for rodents (rats and mice) allows for faster paw identification, based on a video solution taking advantage of the most advanced algorithms of morphologic analysis, weight distribution and postural changes in dynamic conditions. An efficient and advanced alternative to traditional incapacitance tests (i.e. the paw pressure test or the force plate test) for assessing pain sensitivity in your research on analgesia, hyperalgesia and nociception involving rats and mice, including work on osteoarthritis, bone cancer, analgesic substances, Parkinson disease, allodynia...

Expand Your Analysis with Advanced Postural and Locomotor Calculations
BIOSEB’s renowned Dynamic Weight Bearing (DWB2) system is now more powerful than ever with the addition of the Postural Module. This optional software upgrade extends standard weight-bearing analysis by integrating unique calculations designed to quantify subtle aspects of postural balance, locomotor patterns, and compensatory behaviors.
Developed in collaboration with Dr. Tighilet’s lab from Aix Marseille Université-CNRS, the Postural Module improves your DWB2, providing valuable endpoints for studies on pain, neurology, vestibular dysfunction, and neurodegenerative disorders.
