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 platforms with platforms to hold either mice or rats
Interchangeable beams can be used for thinner and thinner intervals
The essential components include
- End platform
- Beams
- (Optional) Start Platform
- (Optional) Encatchment: A soft encatchment to prevent injury from falling
- Holes (~3mm diameter) along beam center to allow insertion of Protruding pegs
- Tapered Shape
- Second lower flat beam below main beam may be added to assist compromised animals. Detachable. Please inquire if needed
- Convenient hinges along beam to allow flexible transport
