Touchscreen Treadmill for Behavioral Research test

The Touchscreen Treadmill is designed for forced exercise training and accurate assessment of fatigue in small laboratory animals. The system features an adjustable rolling belt with controllable speed and positive or negative slope, allowing flexible exercise protocols for mice, rats, and rabbits. An integrated touchscreen control unit provides convenient control of belt speed, slope, and stimulus intensity while displaying experimental parameters including distance covered, accumulated shock time, and shock intensity. The treadmill uses constant-intensity electrical stimulation as a motivating stimulus, with an optional air-puff system available as an alternative. Convertible configurations allow selected rat and mouse treadmills to be adapted between species using interchangeable lids and grids. Optional computer connectivity supports data storage and user-defined exercise protocols, while specialized configurations are available for indirect calorimetry and respiratory metabolism studies. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on reliable performance for animal exercise, fatigue, metabolism, and behavioral research.
