Metrics automatically extracted by ConductVision.
Maximum grip force recorded across trials (grams or Newtons)
Average peak force across repeated pulls
Separate force measurements for front and rear limbs
Force decline across successive trials indicating fatigue
Trial-to-trial consistency as a motor coordination index
Strength adjusted for animal mass enabling cross-group comparisons
The Grip Strength Test measures peak neuromuscular force by allowing a rodent to grasp a bar or grid connected to a force transducer, then gently pulling the animal until it releases. It is the standard assay for evaluating muscle strength in models of neurodegeneration (ALS, SMA), drug-induced myopathy, aging, and exercise physiology.
ConductVision interfaces with digital grip strength meters to automatically log force readings, calculate trial statistics, and flag outlier pulls. The software normalizes results by body weight, tracks longitudinal strength trajectories, and exports force-time curves for detailed biomechanical analysis.
