Introduction of Grip Strength Test

Grip strength tests often selectively measure the grasping force of the rodent's forelimbs or hindlimbs by means of a grasping force meter. The gripper is a pressure sensor with a gripping bar. The gripper is height-adjustable and has different shapes of gripper bars. When the experimenter drags the rodent's tail, the experimental animal will instinctively grab the grasping bar in front in order to stop the unintended backward movement until the experimenter's pulling force exceeds his maximum grasping force. When the experimental animal releases the grasping bar, the instrument will automatically record the maximum tension value.

• Comprehensive assessment of motor deficits in disease models with multiple forms of somatic and central nervous system disorders.
• Evaluate the effects of drugs, poisons, muscle relaxants, central nervous system depressants, stimulants, etc. on animal limb strength.
• Identification of the degree of aging, nerve damage, skeletal damage, muscle damage, ligament damage, and their recovery in animals.
