    Background:

    • Electronystagmography (ENG) requires precise head stabilization for accurate measurement of eye movements.
    • Existing methods for immobilizing small animal models like rats can be cumbersome or lack adaptability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and present an adjustable fixation frame for immobilizing rats during experimental electronystagmography.
    • To provide a reliable and user-friendly method for stabilizing rat subjects in physiological research.

    Main Methods:

    • The study details the design of an adjustable fixation frame.
    • The method of use for immobilizing rats is described, emphasizing ease of application and secure fit.

    Main Results:

    • The adjustable fixation frame effectively immobilizes rats for electronystagmography.
    • The design allows for precise positioning and stability, crucial for data acquisition.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed fixation frame is a valuable tool for researchers conducting electronystagmography in rat models.
    • This innovation facilitates more consistent and accurate physiological data collection in neuroscience research.
