Long-Term Regeneration and Functional Recovery of a 15 mm Critical Nerve Gap Bridged by Tremella fuciformis Polysaccharide-Immobilized Polylactide Conduits

Figure 5

Dynamic walking analysis for rats with 15 mm transectional gap bridged by the conduit. (a) The motion angle (𝜃) was defined as the angle between vectors 𝑎 and 𝑏. (b) During a swing (from (1) and (2) to (3)), 𝜃 was recorded. Typical curves of 𝜃 versus frames are demonstrated for (c) the PLA/TF group at 4 months and (d) the control normal side. (e) shows the mean extension range (Θ) for PLA and PLA/TF groups at different time periods. (f) shows the mean values of average 𝜃 for PLA and PLA/TF groups at different time periods.
