The invention discloses a gait monitoring device for rats and mice based on an acceleration sensor. The device comprises a main control module, an acceleration sensor module, a data transmission module, a power module and a host computer module; the acceleration sensor module is installed on the body of rats and mice, and is used to measure the data of movement direction, acceleration and body posture of the rats and mice and send the data to the main control module; the main control module is used to process the received data to obtain the movement speed of the rats and mice and the distanceinformation, and send the information and the received data to the data transmission module; the data transmission module is used to send the received information to the host computer module; the hostcomputer module is used to display the measured data which reflect the gait of the rats and mice; and the power module is used to supply power to other modules. According to the present invention, the acceleration sensor is u
