Serum BDNF Levels Are Reduced in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness and Are Not Modified by Verticalization with Robot-Assisted Lower-Limb Training

<div>Serum BDNF levels in patients with DOCs and healthy controls. BDNF levels were significantly lower in patients with DOCs than in controls. Bars indicate ranges, boxes indicate 25<sup>th</sup> and 75<sup>th</sup> percentiles, lines in boxes indicate medians, and +s indicate means. BDNF: brain-derived neurotrophic factor; DOC: disorder of consciousness.</div>
