Functional evaluation outcomes correlate with histomorphometric changes in the rat sciatic nerve crush injury model: A comparison between sciatic functional index and kinematic analysis - Fig 3

Panel a shows a pair of rat footprints one week following surgery. PL = print length, TS = toe spread, ITS = intermediate toe spread. Experimental side (E) is left and normal side (N) is right. Panel b shows changes in the sciatic functional index (SFI) over time (error bars = standard error of the mean, SEM; **p < 0.01, compared to the control group). Panel c shows the SFI at different time points after surgery (error bars = SEM, **p < 0.01, comparisons between adjacent groups).
