Abstract
This report describes a new method, the splay angle measures, to determine neuromuscular dysfunction. Splay angles are measured from a standard splay test and define hind limb orientation quantified, in degrees, by the paw strike of the hind limbs. We used mutant rats, presenting with a chronic central nervous system demyelinating disease, characterized by tremor, ataxia, immobility, epilepsy, and paralysis ( taiep). Significant differences between taiep ( n = 12) and normal control rats ( n = 10) were found for Linear Splay, AngleLeft, AngleRight, and AngleBoth. These results suggest that the splay angles are a sensitive measure of hind limb orientation and may reflect an underlying pathology.
