Harness system for bipedal walking and posture in rats.

Rats walking bipedally in front view (A) and side view (B), using a harness system mounted on a large animal treadmill and a horizontal support bar, configured in a four lane configuration (C). A hanging scale was mounted above each rat that attaches to a jacket worn by each rat that measured the amount of upward force on the torso (as a percentage of body mass), which was recorded by a data logger over the course of each exercise bout during the 12-week experimental period.
