This study introduces an improved surgical method for creating bipedal rat models, enhancing ethical considerations. The new approach simplifies procedures and reduces risks while maintaining effective upright posture simulation.

Area of Science:

Animal models in research
Surgical techniques
Biomedical engineering

Context:

Classical bipedal rat models face ethical challenges.
Previous surgical methods for creating bipedal rats have limitations.

Purpose:

To develop an improved surgical approach for bipedal rat models.
To address the ethical deficiencies of classical methods.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new surgical technique.

Summary:

An improved surgical technique involving brachial plexus nerve amputation was compared to traditional forelimb amputation in Sprague Dawley rats.
The improved method demonstrated shorter operation times and reduced risk of axillary artery injury.
Electromyography confirmed complete forelimb paralysis and preserved shoulder abduction, with improved upright time post-surgery.
