By evaluating these measurement issues in functional testing in mice, our goal was to provide a methodological and analytical approach to improve the reliability and precision of outcome …

The Balance Beam apparatus is a narrow ‘walking bridge’ for mice / rats to walk across to test sensorineural balance and coordination. The beam generally sits between two elevated …

This paper describes the use of the rotarod and balance beam tests in conjunction with a vestibular stimulus in order to challenge the vestibular system and characterize the …

To sum it up, the balance beam test is a simple and effective assay to measure a mouse’s balance and coordination. Its use helps scientists to understand the basic biology of balance …

The beam balance or beam walking is a test of motor coordination and balance in rodents, which evaluates sensorimotor function after motor cortex injury, traumatic brain injury, gamma …

Three well established and widely used protocols for measuring motor coordination and balance in mice and rats (rotarod, beam walking and footprint analysis) are described in this unit.
