Early Blockade of TLRs MyD88-Dependent Pathway May Reduce Secondary Spinal Cord Injury in the Rats
Figure 9
Footprint analysis at 7 d and 14 d after injury. (a) Foot prints of red and blue traces. Arrows point to the direction of walking. CP 7 d: there was only toe dragging, but no plantar stepping appeared. MIP 7 d: plantar prints appeared. CP 14 d: plantar prints were frequent and coordinated while toe dragging was also seen. MIP 14 d: the animal resumed almost normal walking. Scale bar = 3 cm. (b) Percentage of the toe dragging was significantly reduced in MIP group, compared with CP group at 7 d, 10 d, and 14 d (**). (c) Stride length at 14 d was significantly increased in MIP group in comparison to CP group (*); meanwhile the stride width was decreased in MIP group compared with CP group (*).
