Gait analysis in spinal cord injury research
From 2021 to 2025, 127 animal research papers on spinal cord injury mentioned gait analysis in their title or abstract.
That is 2.5 times the 50 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on spinal cord injury that mention any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 1.3 times as many.

Which species the papers used
Each bar is a share of the 127 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.
Species
“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 127 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 99 (78%) 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 spinal cord injury.
We tell whether a paper studies spinal cord injury 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 spinal cord injury research names the subject headings we count as spinal cord injury. 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.
