Motor Coordination
Measurement of motor coordination and balance can be used not only to assess the effect of drugs or other experimental manipulations on mice and rats, but also to characterize the motor phenotype of transgenic or knock-out animals.
The tests can be used equally well for rats and mice, and have been used both for the phenotypic characterization of transgenic mice and for evaluating the effects of lesions and aging in rats.

Ugo Basile Motor CoordinationProtected: RotaRod for Mice and Rats
The RotaRod is a simple test to assess motor function and coordination in rodents. Motor coordination or fatigue can be evaluated by measuring the time the animal stays on a rotating rod before falling. The Rod can rotate at constant, accelerating, rocking (back and forth) or through complex acceleration/deceleration ramps, thanks to the included PC software XPad.

Ugo Basile Motor CoordinationProtected: RotaRod Enlargers and Complex Wheels
Enlargers and complex wheels for RotaRods to change the complexity of the experiment. Enlargers increase rod diameter and offer the option to change the surface from grooved to smooth. Complex wheels add complexity thanks to the asymmetrical and adjustable rungs which increase the test sensitivity and add a higher involvement of motor cortex and hippocampus.
