This conclusion is not confounded by body weight or willingness to cross the runway (and thus average walking speed), since although these parameters were highly strain dependent both at baseline and in their changes after neuropathic injury (data not shown), no correlations of these parameters with any CatWalk measures even approached significance.
← all excerpts
Hypolocomotion, asymmetrically directed behaviors (licking, lifting, flinching, and shaking) and dynamic weight bearing (gait) changes are not measures of neuropathic pain in mice.

The sentences
This is not due to genotype differences, since CD 1 mice displayed highly significant changes in gait as measured by CatWalk after SNI (see below).
