FIG. 5.
Neither increased velocity nor increased duration of cord-impactor contact had an effect on the outcome of locomotor function. All three injury conditions (velocity 1 m/sec, duration 0.2 sec [filled circles]; velocity 1 m/sec, duration 5.0 sec [inverted filled triangles]; velocity 2 m/sec, duration 0.2 sec [open circles]) showed improvement over time (*p > 0.05). There were no significant differences at any time points between the three groups. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 6/group).
