Surgical procedure and time points for experimental muscles. (a) immediate peroneal to tibial repair followed by 3 months of recovery. (b) complete denervation followed by a delayed (3 month) peroneal to tibial repair and a 3 month recovery period. At the end of the recovery period functional measurements are taken. Both of these groups were duplicated and included 1 month of electrical stimulation in the immediate repair case and 3 months of electrical stimulation in the denervated case. Animals in all groups had electrodes implanted into the belly of the muscle.
