Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate objective characterisation of gait as a marker of the chronic pain of adjuvant arthritis (AA). Video recorded images of spontaneous rat ambulations were analysed to quantify various temporal and spatial parameters and compare these between the AA and control groups. Changes were also recorded after the administration of a single dose of buprenorphine (15 μg). Individual temporal parameters were significantly reduced (velocity (P=0.05), stride length (P=0.007), single stance time (P
