^aElectrode leads exiting the skin became damaged prior to the first FES testing.

^bElectrodes were not implanted in the nerve transection only control animal.

BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; FES, functional electrical stimulation; post op., post-operative; transect-repair, nerve transection and immediate repair.
