Table 2. The Hanging wire test shows deficits in the aging acutely after stroke.

Median (interquartile range) scores of young and aging males on the hanging wire test. There was a significant difference in the mean ranks of aging stroke vs. sham out to day 3 after stroke. The aging animals recovered completely on this task by day 7(MCAO n=6; Sham n=3); There was no significant difference in the mean ranks of sham versus stroke young animals as they recovered very quickly on this task (MCAO n=14; Sham n=4).

Day 1 Day 3 Day 5 Day 7 Day 9
Young Stroke 3.5(1.75) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0)
Sham 4(0) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0)
Aging Stroke 0(0)* 1 (0.75)* 1.5(1) 3.5(1.75) 4(0)
Sham 4(0) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0) 4(0)
