Basso Mouse Scale (BMS)
Objective: To assess locomotor function and motor recovery following spinal cord injury using the Basso Mouse Scale scoring system
This is a Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) protocol using Mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 3 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2026 paper published in Mater Today Bio.
Model and subjects
Mouse • C57BL/6 • Female • 8 weeks old • Not specified
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Examiner preparation • BMS assessment session • Score assignment
Primary readouts
- Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) scores ranging from 0-9
- Hind-limb movement assessment
- Locomotor function recovery
Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.
Use the page like this
- Work through the protocol steps in order and use the inline vendor chips only when you need to source or verify an item.
- Jump to Experimental Context for readouts, data shape, and analysis flow before planning downstream analysis.

Examiner preparation
Three examiners blinded to experimental groups conduct assessments

“conducted by three examiners blinded to the experimental groups in a quiet environment”
BMS assessment session
Evaluate locomotor function during 5-minute free-exploration sessions
View evidence from paper
“Locomotor function was assessed using the Basso Mouse Scale (BMS, 0-9) during 5-min free-exploration sessions”
Score assignment
Assign BMS scores based on consensus evaluation of hind-limb movement
