About this item

The Balance Beam apparatus is a narrow 'walking bridge' for rodents to walk across to test sensorineural balance and coordination. The modified beam walking apparatus has been updated to simultaneously evaluate brain injury on the effect of anxiety and vestibulomotor function.

Acrylic construction
Non-reflective surfaces
Customizable beam dimensions and shapes are available
Defult beam widths: 6 mm, 12 mm, 24 mm, and 48 mm included

The Balance Beam apparatus generally sits between two elevated platforms, which hold either mice or rats. Interchangeable beams can be used for thinner intervals. The modified beam walking apparatus has been updated based on the 2016 publication of Sweiss, et al., who created this maze to simultaneously evaluate brain injury on the effect of anxiety and vestibulomotor function.
