Tamoxifen Promotes Axonal Preservation and Gait Locomotion Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in Cats

Figure 7

Stick figures illustrating both cat hindlimb during overground locomotion in intact and in spinal hemisected cats treated with tamoxifen. ((a)–(n)) Stick figures illustrating gait locomotion in intact cat and after 4, 16, and 30 DAI: in treated and untreated cats. (a) Ipsilateral hindlimb during locomotion in a intact cat. (b) Ipsilateral hindlimb during locomotion in an untreated cat at 4 DAI; arrow shows dragging during forward displacement. (c) Ipsilateral hindlimb locomotion in treated cat, at 4 DAI. (d) Ipsilateral hindlimb locomotion in an untreated cat, at 16 DP. (e) Ipsilateral hindlimb, in treated cat, at 16 DAI. (f) Ipsilateral hindlimb in an untreated cat at 30 DAI. (g) Ipsilateral hindlimb locomotion in treated cat, at 30 DAI. (h) Contralateral hindlimb locomotion in an intact cat. (i) Contralateral hindlimb locomotion in an untreated cat, at 4 DAI. (j) Contralateral hindlimb in treated cat, at 4 DAI. (k) Contralateral hindlimb locomotion in an untreated cat, at 16 DAI. (l) Contralateral hindlimb in treated cat, at 16 DAI. (m) Contralateral hindlimb locomotion in a untreated cat, at 30 DAI. (n) Contralateral hindlimb locomotion in treated cat, at 30 DAI.
