Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rehabilitation training experimental equipment, in particular to a rehabilitation training device for rats and mice. Background Art

[0002] Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe trauma to the central nervous system, characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high cost, which causes the patient to lose movement, sensory function, and autonomous control ability.

[0003] In recent years, with the continuous understanding of the mechanism of spinal cord injury and the continuous development of rehabilitation medicine, exercise training has become an indispensable part of the current treatment of spinal cord injury. A large number of clinical and animal studies have confirmed that exercise training can improve local blood circulation in the spinal cord, promote the secretion and expression of nutritional factors, promote the regeneration of axons and the correct connection of synapses, and has a significant effect on the recovery of post-injury functions. With the deepening of research, the mechanisms and methods of exercise training have been continuously improved and updated. Currently, the main widely used methods are: treadmill walking training, weight-reduced treadmill walking training, wheel training, standing training with support, and water exercise training using the buoyancy of water and fluid resistance. Most studies have confirmed that weight-reduced treadmill training has a significant promoting effect on the recovery of motor function in rats after spinal cord injury. At present, most of the small animal treadmills available on the market are horizontal treadmills. Due to the paralysis of the hind limbs of animals with spinal cord injury, the existing treadmills are easily stuck in the paralyzed limbs when used for exercise rehabilitation training of mice and rats after spinal cord injury, causing secondary injuries, which is not conducive to the conduct of rehabilitation training.
