Figure 2.
A. The percentage of endplates that are either denervated, or reinnervated with one or two axons is shown before crush injury and up to 6 weeks after injury. B. Functional recovery following sciatic crush injury is correlated to the sciatic functional index (SFI) and print length factor (PLF). Weekly statistically significant improvements (p<0.05) are noted starting three weeks after crush injury and approximate pre-injury levels by 6 weeks following crush injury.
