The purpose of the present study was to establish a rat bipedal walking model to examine
the effects of bipedal walking on the central nervous system by training rats to perform
bipedal walking over a period of 3 months. The characteristics of bipedal walking were
investigated using kinematic and electromyographic methods in established bipedal walking
models. Stable bipedal walking was achieved in rats by training them to stand with an
upright posture and to walk with the hindlimbs using bipedal-walking training equipment to …
