Réseau de contacts appareil de test de marche Le barreau d&#39;échelle horizontale marcher appareil d&#39;essai se composait de parois latérales en plexiglas clair et barreaux métalliques (3 mm de diamètre), qui pourrait être inséré pour créer un plancher avec une distance minimale de 1 cm entre les barreaux (voir la figure 1;. Metz et Whishaw , 2003). Les parois latérales étaient de 1 m de long et 19 cm de haut mesuré à partir de la hauteur des barreaux. L&#39;échelle a été su...

the ladder rung walking task: a scoring system and its practical application.

Progrès dans le développement de modèles animaux pour / accident vasculaire cérébral, traumatisme médullaire, et d&#39;autres maladies neurodégénératives nécessite des tests de haute sensibilité pour développer des aspects distincts de la fonction motrice et de déterminer la perte de la capacité, même subtile mouvement. Afin de renforcer l&#39;efficacité et la résolution des tests, des tests devraient permettre des mesures qualitatives et quantitatives de la fonction motrice et être sensible aux changements dans la performance pendant les périodes de récupération. La présente étude décrit une nouvelle tâche d&#39;évaluer la marche qualifiés chez le rat afin de mesurer à la fois des membres antérieurs et postérieurs de fonction au même moment. Les animaux sont nécessaires pour marcher le long d&#39;une échelle horizontale sur laquelle l&#39;espacement des barreaux est variable et est changé périodiquement. Les changements dans écartement des barreaux empêcher les animaux de l&#39;apprentissage de la localisation absolue et relative des barreaux et ainsi minimiser la capacité des animaux pour compenser les déficiences grâce à l&#39;apprentissage. De plus, en changeant l&#39;espacement entre les barreaux permet le test pour être utilisé à plusieurs reprises dans des études à long terme. Les méthodes sont décrites pour la description à la fois quantitative et qualitative des performances à la fois antérieurs et postérieurs, y compris des membres mise en place, pas à pas, de la coordination. Par ailleurs, l&#39;utilisation de stratégies compensatoires est indiqué par faux-pas ou des mesures compensatoires en réponse à un autre membre de malposition.
