The Rodents Parallel Rod Floor Test was originally described in the literature by Kamans and Crabbe (2007) as a simple model of ataxia in mice

In the original protocol, both ataxia and locomotor activity can be measured

The test allows researchers to quantify differences in motor coordination

KF Technology offers multiple manual versions of the Parallel Rod Test, including a more refined simple rod within an open field (without video grading), as well as a model to replicate the original Kamans and Crabbe paper
