Gait analysis in stroke and brain ischemia research

From 2021 to 2025, 52 animal research papers on stroke and brain ischemia mentioned gait analysis in their title or abstract.

That is 2.6 times the 20 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on stroke and brain ischemia that mention any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 1.5 times as many.

Papers on stroke and brain ischemia that mention gait analysis fell from 10 in 2021 to 7 in 2023, then rose to 17 in 2025. Part of this dip may come from PubMed's indexing rather than from fewer studies. Where PubMed has indexed a paper, we take its disease models from that indexing. Otherwise PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract, or the paper is not counted here. Papers that PubMed indexed under the subject heading Animals also fell and rose, from 200,221 in 2021 to 156,447 in 2023 and 235,479 in 2025.

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 52 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

“Other animals” counts papers that use none of the species this chart names.

Tests mentioned alongside gait analysis

Each bar is one test, with how many of the 52 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 30 (58%) mention no other test.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions gait analysis in its title or abstract, and studies stroke and brain ischemia.

We tell whether a paper studies stroke and brain ischemia from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on stroke and brain ischemia research names the subject headings we count as stroke and brain ischemia. Download the test list for the search terms we used for gait analysis, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

Every pairing of a disease model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

Papers on other disease models that mention gait analysis

The page on gait analysis counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on stroke and brain ischemia research ranks the tests by their papers on stroke and brain ischemia.
