The beam balance or beam walking is a test of motor coordination and balance in rodents, which evaluates sensorimotor function after motor cortex injury, traumatic brain injury, gamma-aminobutyric acid infusion to the frontal cortex, and stroke rodent models. In addition, the test can be used to assess the effects of aging and characterize transgenic animals.
The goal of this test is for the subject to stay upright and walk across an elevated narrow beam to a safe box/platform which is on one side of the balance beam. The time the rodent takes to cross the beam and the number of paw slips that occur in the process are to be recorded as the quantitative performance on the beam. This test usually takes several consecutive days of test: some days of training and 1 day of testing.
