Constructing and programming a cost-effective murine running wheel with digital revolution counter

Voluntary wheel running is a valuable metabolic intervention and well-established measure of physical activity in preclinical rodent models.

Zusammenfassung:Voluntary wheel running is a valuable metabolic intervention and well-established measure of physical activity in preclinical rodent models. Herein, we describe detailed assembly instructions and provide necessary resources for researchers to build their own running wheels from commercial-off-the-shelf parts and an open-source program at approximately a tenth of the cost of commercially-available options.
