Grip Strength Meter
General
The Ugo Basile Grip Strength Meter automa-
tically measures grip-strength (
i.e. peak force
and time resistance) of forelimb or hindlimb
(via the optional grid) in rats and mice.
The Grip Strength test is a perfect complement
to the gold standard Ugo Basile Rota-Rod de-
vice for motor coordination and motor fun-
ction experiments. The effects of drugs, toxins,
muscle relaxants, disease, ageing or neural
damage on muscle strength may be assessed.
The animal is placed over a base plate, in front
of a grasping tool (either T-shaped, trapeze-
shaped or grid ), whose height is adjustable.
The bar is fitted to a force sensor connected to
the control unit, which can be used as a stand-
alone or connected to a PC via the USB port,
for monitoring and data recording, via the
NEW
software provided as standard
