Figure 1. Standardized observation-based behavioral batteries for evaluating recovery after spinal cord injury in the rodents.

Figure 1

A, Grooming scale scoring system and recovery plots color coded by injury conditions. B, Paw placement task and recovery plots. C, Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan (BBB) open field hindlimb locomotor scale. D, Fine motor-focused, BBB subscore. E, Forelimb open field score. Three different standardized models of SCI were included in the dataset: hemisections, force-driven contusions (kdyns) and weight-drop contusions (mm) centered at cervical vertebra 5 (C5) and delivered to one side of the spinal cord. Data were collected over 10 years at two different SCI centers (The Ohio State University, and University of California, San Francisco) and represent over 159 subjects with complete outcome batteries. Error bars reflect SEM as used by general linear models (e.g., ANOVA). Note that all points have error bars although some are smaller than the points. (see manuscript for references).
