Sloan Kanat is conducting kinematic research on pig gait. The goal of this research is to develop an analysis of pig gait using 3D rotational data pre- and post- traumatic brain injury. Using motion capture, changes in pig gait are assessed after an induced traumatic brain injury. Combining the changes in the pig gait with the changes in behavior and the pig play, a list of traumatic brain injury attributes will be created. The pig data will be used to relate to the impact traumatic brain injury can have on humans such as in a car accident or sports injury.
