Combined Use of Chitosan and Olfactory Mucosa Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells to Promote Peripheral Nerve Regeneration In Vivo

Figure 14

Kinematic evaluation of rats 20 weeks after neurotmesis: (a) R; (b) EtER; (c) ROM; (d) EtEROM. Upper graphs show the mean during UC gait (blue) versus the pattern of experimental groups (green) at the level of the ankle joint. Lower graphs show SPM statistic as a function of the gait cycle. SPM unpaired -tests were performed, comparing the mean kinematic angle of each pattern to the respective mean kinematic angle of UC (). The moments of the gait cycle in which the critical threshold () was exceeded (corresponding to the moment when the of the experimental groups is superior to the of UC) are represented by the grey area of the lower graphs. G1 = R; G2 = EtER; G3 = ROM; G4 = EtEROM; SPM: statistical parametric mapping.
