A hacked kitchen scale-based system for quantification of grip strength in rodents
2022, Computers in Biology and MedicineCitation Excerpt :A marked increase in grip strength has been observed upon administration of 6-OHDA into the nigrostriatal bundle [14,35]. Although the mechanism remains to be elucidated, it has been proposed that it reflects processes related to nigrostriatal degeneration-induced rigidity in human PD [35]. Here, we exploited the griPASTA system to assess muscular rigidity following bilateral intrastriatal 6-OHDA administration.

Reduced strength in the front paw is an indication of injury to the motor fibers of median and ulnar nerves and loss of muscle tone.30,32 The rat's carotid and temporal artery blood flow was measured as an index of blood supply to the brain using a GE Vivid 7 Ultrasound System and GE Echo software (GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI).
