Three-month old TO-2 dystrophic hamsters exhibited significant gait differences that were consistent with those observed in 9-month-old animals. (a) Stride length was shorter and (b) stance width narrower in 3-month-old TO-2 hamsters. (c) Differences in forelimb braking duration and (d) hindlimb propulsion duration while walking horizontally [center bars] were exacerbated with uphill walking [left bars] and downhill walking [right bars]. # TO-2 compared to F1B.
