A three-dimensional swing device for tail vertebrae of experimental animals and its application

Abstract

The present invention relates to a laboratory animal coccyx stereoscopic wobble apparatus and an application thereof. The apparatus comprises an animal placement platform, a slide rail, a base, a turntable, a motor and a coccyx fixing pipe, wherein the animal placement platform is arranged on the base by using the slide rail, the turntable and the animal placement platform are arranged at intervals, the turntable is connected to an output end of the motor, a notch is provided in the turntable, and the coccyx fixing pipe is connected into the notch by a support so that the coccyx fixing pipe can move up and down in the notch and rotate about the support, and is used to fix the end of the laboratory animal coccyx. In comparison with the prior art, the apparatus provided by the present invention is capable of performing a 360-degree omnidirectional stereoscopic wobble experiment of laboratory animal coccyges, being more suitable to actual activities of coccyges, and being used to observe the influence of different wobble actions on coccyges by varying the speed and angle. Laboratory animal tail single-section or multi-section wobble can be performed by adjusting the distance and angle of fixing points provided on two side of the tail portion of the apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an auxiliary device for basic medical research, in particular to a three-dimensional swing device for the tail vertebra of an experimental animal and its application. Background technique [0002] In the field of disc degeneration research, there has been debate about the true cause of why discs degenerate. With the progress of the research and the in-depth study of the intervertebral disc, the "wear and tear" theory is more and more generally accepted by the majority of scientific researchers. The "wear and tear" theory is the wear and tear theory of the intervertebral disc. In real life, long-term or excessive activities of the intervertebral disc, that is, overtime and over-range activities, often cause a series of clinical symptoms. However, do these activities lead to changes in the intervertebral disc? Or degeneration? There is currently no good animal model available for research. [0003] Therefore, a device that can...
