The "staircase" test is designed for measurement of side-specific deficits in coordinated paw movements in rats during skilled reaching and grasping tasks. It has been shown to reveal impairments on the contralateral side following unilateral lesions in a wide range of motor structures of the brain.

The apparatus is a plexiglas box with a removable baited double staircase. Food pellets are placed on the staircase and presented bilaterally at 7 graded stages of reaching difficulty to provide objective measures of side bias, maximum forelimb extension and grasping skill.
