Review of motor behavior in mice affected by stroke

Abstract

Introduction: The stroke is a neurological disease that most commonly affects the nervous system and is the leading cause of mental and physical disabilities. Objective: To evaluate motor behavior in animal models after coronary occlusion of the common carotid. Method: 16 Wistar rats, and surgery was performed earlier in the neck to expose the common carotid artery, being obstructed by a hemostat. The sample was divided into two groups GI and GII Results: Statistical analysis, the mean and standard deviation for the normal reaction was 42.5 ± 0.70 and for the reaction of flexion 0.0 ± 0, 0 for Group I. In group II, the mean and standard deviation for normal reaction was 36.0 ± 1.41 and for the reaction of flexion, 20.0 ± 2.82. Conclusion: Physical activity is essential for daily life in patients with neurological injury and improved the locomotor activity.
