FIG. 6.

Stance Integration. (A) Representative hindpaw stances measured at a treadmill speed of 6.0 cm/sec at 4 weeks post-SCI. The stance includes brake and propel phases, which were temporally divided by the point of peak stance. The curves shown are representative single steps aligned at peak stance, which may not fully convey the breadth of changes happening within a treatment group. (B) Integrated stance results across injury intensity. Note that the integrated propel phase was significantly decreased at moderate-to-very-severe injury levels, whereas integrated brake phase and integrated stance were decreased at all injury levels (125 kDyn/mild, 175 kDyn/moderate, 200 kDyn/severe, and 225 kDyn/very severe; *p<0.05, compared to sham [brake or propel phase]; ^Δtotal integrated stance, p<0.05, compared to sham, ^♦p<0.05, compared to mild injury; analysis of variance with Student-Newman-Keuls' post-hoc test; n=3–7).
