FIGURE 3.

Comparison of hind limb motor function recovery. The recovery of hind limb motor function was evaluated in both the experimental and control groups 6 months post‐surgery. In the experimental group, certain beagles exhibited spontaneous hind limb movement as early as 12 days post‐surgery, with continuous improvement observed over the subsequent 6 months. In contrast, the control group remained paralyzed for the entire 6‐month postoperative period, registering a cBBB score of 0. A significant disparity (p < 0.05) in cBBB scores between the experimental and control groups was noted from day 22 post‐surgery.
