An assortment of tests measuring sensory and motor performance can determine gross function as well as more precise targets such as lateralized motor movement and coordination.

+ Balance Wall
Measures balance, coordination, and distance traveled along a narrow platform

+ Cylinder Test
Measures cerebral asymmetry in forelimb motor function. Typically used in stroke, Parkinson's, and brain tumor models. Suggested whenever lateralized motor abnormalities are suspected

+ Grip Strength
Quantifies grip force ability in forelimbs and hindlimbs

+ Ladder Challenge
Motor function, coordination, balance

+ Neurological Screen
Basic screen for gross sensory and locomotor function

+ Open Field
Automated evaluation of gross locomotor activity. First level assessment of motor function or for screening sedative effects of pharmacotherapy

+ Optomotry
Visual acuity and contrast thresholds

+ Rotarod
Motor function, coordination, balance

+ Rotometer
Measures rotational asymmetry following unilateral changes to the central nervous system

+ Treadmill
Motor function, coordination, agility

+ Visual Cliff Test
Determines gross visual function
