Degrau da escada a pé aparelho de teste O degrau da escada horizontal andando aparelho de teste consistiu de paredes laterais feitas de Plexiglas clara e degraus de metal (3 mm de diâmetro), que pode ser inserido para criar um piso com uma distância mínima de 1 cm entre os degraus (ver Fig. 1;. Metz e Whishaw , 2003). As paredes laterais foram 1 m de comprimento e 19 cm de altura medidos a partir da altura dos degraus. A escada foi elevada 30 centímetros acima do solo com uma gaiola de pa...

O presente estudo apresenta a escada degrau a pé tarefa como um novo teste para avaliar a pé qualificados, colocação dos membros e dos membros da coordenação. O degrau da escada a pé tarefa permite discriminação entre distúrbios sutis da função motora através da combinação de análise qualitativa e quantitativa de andar qualificados. O procedimento de análise de vídeo pode ser usado para uma conta de mais descritivo da deficiência, ea escala de classificação simples descritas neste documento revela o...

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

Progresso no desenvolvimento de modelos animais para / acidente vascular cerebral, lesão medular e outras doenças neurodegenerativas requer testes de alta sensibilidade para elaborar aspectos distintos da função motora e até mesmo para determinar a perda sutil da capacidade de movimento. Para melhorar a eficácia e resolução de testes, os testes devem permitir que medidas qualitativas e quantitativas da função motora e ser sensíveis a mudanças no desempenho durante os períodos de recuperação. O presente estudo descreve uma nova tarefa para avaliar a pé qualificados no rato para medir ambos os membros anteriores e função dos membros posteriores, ao mesmo tempo. Animais são obrigados a caminhar ao longo de uma escada horizontal em que o espaçamento dos degraus é variável e é periodicamente alterada. Alterações no espaçamento degrau evitar que os animais de aprender a localização absoluta e relativa dos degraus e assim minimizar a capacidade dos animais para compensar deficiências através da aprendizagem. Além disso, alterar o espaçamento entre os degraus permite que o teste para ser usado repetidas vezes em estudos de longo prazo. Métodos são descritos para a descrição quantitativa e qualitativa do desempenho do frente-e hindlimb, incluindo membros colocação, pisar, coordenação. Além disso, o uso de estratégias compensatórias é indicada por erros ou passos de compensação em resposta a outro membro do extravio.
