Anatomic Changes in the Macroscopic Morphology and Microarchitecture of Denervated Long Bone Tissue after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Figure 3

The macroscopic changes in the femur at 33 and 63 days after spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI rats showed deficits at increasing the bone morphometric measures to varying levels, whereas reloading through passive standing (PS) tended to reverse this loss and electrical stimulation (ES) slightly ameliorated it. The asterisks ( ) and hash ( ) signs indicate a significant difference ( ). Error bars indicate standard deviation.
