Grip-strength test
Objective: To evaluate neuromuscular strength in mice
This is a Grip-strength test protocol using mice as the model organism. The procedure involves 6 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2026 paper published in IBRO Neurosci Rep.
Model and subjects
mice • C57BL/6 N • male • Eight-week-old • Not specified for grip strength test specifically
Study window
Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Mouse positioning • Grip establishment • Force measurement
Primary readouts
- Peak force in centinewtons (cN)
- Mean grip strength across five trials
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.
Protocol Steps
Start here. The step list is optimized for running the experiment, with direct vendor links available inline when you need to source a cited item.
Mouse positioning
Gently lift the mouse by the tail
View evidence from paper
“Each mouse was gently lifted by the tail”
Grip establishment
Allow the mouse to grasp the wire mesh of the dynamometer with its forepaws
View evidence from paper
“allowed to grasp the wire mesh of the dynamometer with its forepaws”
Force measurement
Pull the mouse steadily backward in a horizontal plane until it releases its grip
View evidence from paper
“steadily pulled backward in a horizontal plane until it released its grip”
Data recording
Record the peak force automatically in centinewtons
View evidence from paper
“the peak force (centinewtons, cN) was automatically recorded”
Trial repetition
Perform five consecutive trials per mouse
View evidence from paper
“Each mouse underwent five consecutive trials”
Data analysis
Calculate the mean value from the five trials for analysis

“the mean value was used for analysis”
