Abstract

Motor impairment appears as a characteristic of several diseases and injuries. Therefore, tests for analyzing motor dysfunction are widely applied across preclinical models and disease stages. The standard analysis addresses an extensive number of gait parameters which raises complication and often lead to premature parameter pre-selection. The parameter selection process was typically based on the previous research or the expert presumption, which sometimes leaves a question about the importance of the unselected parameters. Instead of manual parameter selection, here we propose a data mining technique using a systematic approach of initial data analysis (IDA) using a cluster heat map for data visualization. We exemplify our approach by applying it to a classical before-intervention-after-intervention design. This IDA is useful especially for exploratory research investigating gait abnormality and has the prospect to be applied in selecting parameters for a multivariate data analysis.
