Compared to CTL animals, CR or RSV animals did not show any change in motor performances evaluated by rotarod and jump tests, but an increase in spontaneous locomotor activity was observed in both groups.
No dose of SSA altered rat motor-performance, evaluated exposing all rats to an inverted screen test immediately after the self-administration session.
Motor performance was evaluated by means of a sensor-engineered glove and transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to assess M1 excitability before and after each conditioning protocol.
Moreover, the acute adverse-effect profile of the active compounds (1a 7a, 12a) with respect to impairment of motor performance was evaluated in the chimney test.
Motor performance was evaluated as described previously (Tovar-y-Romo et al., 2007).
Motor performance was evaluated in all patients using the Motricity Index (Wade, 1992; Bohannon, 1999) and with grip and pinch dynamometry (Sunderland et al., 1989).
Besides the observation of walking and general motor behavior, motor performance was evaluated 6 and 24 h after the experiment by the rotarod test (Columbus Instruments), as previously described (Corona and Tapia, 2007).
Thirdly, motor performance was evaluated by considering the number of successful trials and by providing efficiency ratings of technical motor skill components that are known to influence jumping height.
Motor performance was evaluated by an accelerating rotarod apparatus with a 3 cm diameter rod starting at an initial rotation of 4 r.p.m. slowly accelerating to 40 r.p.m. over 5 min.
Multiple features of motor performance can be evaluated from speech movement recordings including movement extent, speed, and acceleration (see (41)).
Hanging Wire Test (HWT) was performed to evaluate motor performance.
