What is the Catalepsy Bar Test used for?

The Catalepsy Bar Test is used to assess motor rigidity and catalepsy in rodents, commonly applied in Parkinson’s disease models and antipsychotic drug studies.

Can this Catalepsy Bar Test be used for both mice and rats?

Yes. We provide 4 lanes for Rats and 6 lanes for mice with different bar diameters and lane widths.

How is catalepsy measured in this system?

Catalepsy is measured by recording the latency for the animal to remove one or both forepaws from the elevated bar using sensor array detection.

Is the Catalepsy Bar Test automated?

Yes. Paw removal is automatically detected, and timing data are recorded independently for each lane.

What data can be exported from the Catalepsy Bar Test system?

Start time, end time, stay duration, maximum duration, minimum duration, and average duration for each subject.

overview

The Catalepsy Bar Test is developed to test motor coordination and motor impairments, being as an alternative to the Rotarod. The Catalepsy Bar Test involves placing the forepaws of a rodent subject onto a bar and timing how long it takes for the subject to remove one or both paws from the bar.

Features & Benefits

Automated 4/6-Lane Design

4- and 6-lane automated design allows simultaneous testing of multiple subjects.

Independent Per-Lane Timing

Independent timing per lane ensures accurate and unbiased records.

Adjustable Bar Height

Adjustable bar height accommodates different experimental protocols.

Sensor Array Detection

Sensor array detection provides objective identification of paw removal.

Manual Start Buttons

Manual start buttons enhance synchronization accuracy across lanes.

Touchscreen Control Unit

A touchscreen control unit simplifies experimental operation and data review.

Applications

Parkinson’s disease models

Antipsychotic drug side effect evaluation

Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) assessment

Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist studies

Motor rigidity and coordination assessment in rodents

Behavioral pharmacology screening
