The Motorized Running Wheel (MRW) is used for exercise training in rodents. It consists of a centrally motorized wheel which allows forced running at low, and intermediate intensity levels of running.
The Motorized Running Wheel is constructed using clear acrylic. The running track is made of bars. On one side of the wheel, a quarter-circle serves as the entrance and exit for the subject. Two triangular acrylic columns support the running wheel frame above the surface. Eight infrared sensors are placed at 70° between 0° to 140° (effective area of exercise) using a thick semicircular, transparent acrylic sheets attached at the external sides of the two triangular columns. The wheel is centrally motorized and comes with associated software that allows control of training intensity (low and intermediate levels).
