This review contains information about different laboratorian rodent′s gait analysis systems. These methods are useful for the assessment of motor function in neurodegenerative models. The following aspects have been considered: ink traces technique, treadmills equipment, and modern gait analysis systems like TreadScan and CatWalk, which allows estimating a set of animals gait parameters. For each technique a detailed description and examples of its use for estimating gait parameters in neurodegenerative diseases are given.
