Timeline of experimental design. Locomotor step training began 2 weeks after injury following the protocol shown here with varying speeds. Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB), at-level allodynia, and below-level thermal testing occurred weekly or biweekly. Kinematics, gait analysis, and electromyography (EMG) were collected periodically. Urodynamic evaluation was performed at the terminal experiment. Trained and non-trained rats had the same testing at all time points. SCI, spinal cord injury.
