Product Index
 
Voluntary (passive) and forced (active) running wheels can be integrated to provide additional parameters for motor activity, motor skill testing, exercise calorimetry and other purposes.

  • Voluntary wheels detect each revolution with 90° resolution as well as rotation to the left or right
  • An "enabled / disabled" mode with a time and distance control provides a new reward feature
  • The voluntary wheels can be equipped with a PC controlled rotation resistance for applying different work loads
  • Wheels drums with variable rod distances allow refined automated motor skills testing (new paradigm)
  • CaloWheels surrounded by a sealed housing can be used for speed-controlled calorimetric exercise tests

Modular running wheel systems are available for experiments with time and distance control, with adjustable work loads and with pre-programmed speed profiles. The systems are supplied with the LabMaster software package which can be used to specify a user-defined experiment design.
