【Abstract】 Objective To estimate an animal model of spastic cerebral palsy (CP) exactly reflected the physiological and pathological changes after the occurrence of cerebral palsy and evaluate the applicability of behavioral tests in the detection of spastic cerebral palsy model. Methods 30 7dayold rats were randomly divided Spastic cerebral palsy model group(20 rats) and control group (10 rats). The behavioral changes of rats were detected by suspension test, slope test, muscle tension test, inclined plate test, non self movement observation, and Morris water maze test. Results The score of suspension test of experimental group and control group were 203 + 079 and 415 + 067 (P<005). The time of slope test of experimental group and control group were 1125 + 121 seconds and 435 + 093 seconds (P<005). The score of muscle tension test of experimental group and control group were 780 + 062 and 1000 + 000 (P<005). The score of non self movement of experimental group and control group 950 + 089 and 1000 + 000 (P<005). The inclined plate test of experimental group was positive. The inclined plate test of control group was negative. There were statistically significant differences in the escape latency of experimental group and control group at different time points in Morris water maze test.Conclusion Model of spastic cerebral palsy in rats maintains typical signs and symptoms for long time. The operation is simple and standardized. Behavioral experiments are reliable applications on the identification of spastic cerebral palsy animal model.
