Tail Suspension Test
behavioralMouseB6SJL‐TgN(SOD1 G93A)1Gur/J transgenic mice
Objective: To assess muscle strength and neurological function by observing struggle behaviour during tail suspension
Protocol Steps
1
Tail Suspension
Suspend mice by the tail
5 min
View evidence from paper
“Mice were suspended by the tail”
2
Observe Struggle Behavior
Observe and record the mouse's struggle behavior to assess muscle strength and neurological function
Throughout 5 min test
View evidence from paper
“their struggle behaviour was observed to assess muscle strength and neurological function”
3
Record Active Struggle Duration
Record the total duration of active struggle in seconds
N/A
View evidence from paper
“The total duration of active struggle (in seconds) was recorded”
4
Calculate Average Muscle Tension
Calculate the average muscle tension from the recorded data
