Training-Induced Functional Gains following SCI

Figure 1

Weekly open field locomotor scoring of trained, nontrained, and forelimb SCI male rats. Statistically significant locomotor recovery occurred from week 1 to week 2 for all groups. At 2 weeks post-SCI training began. Only the trained group had significant increases from pretraining. Shams not shown, BBB = 21 ( versus pretraining; W2; repeated ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc -tests: nontrain ; forelimb ; train ).
