Effects of PBM on motor function recovery after SCI.

(A, B) Locomotor function recovery was measured by BBB score and footprint analysis. SCI rats had impaired motor function, which gradually recovered over time. PBM had a time-dependent effect on promotion of motor function recovery. (C, D) Statistical analyses of stride length and stride width from footprint analysis at 14 days post-SCI. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001, vs. CON group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, vs. SCI group (one-way analysis of variance followed by least significant difference post hoc test). BBB: Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan; CON: control; PBM: photobiomodulation; SCI: spinal cord injury.
