FIG. 2.

Cereal manipulation task of Irvine, Beatties, and Bresnahan (IBB). Group scores for (A) spherical and (B) doughnut cereal manipulation task measured on a scale of 0-9. Cereal manipulation sub-measures for (C) predominant elbow joint position, (D) proximal forelimb movements, (E) predominant forepaw position, (F) cereal adjustments (control), (G) wrist movement during manipulation, and (H) paw contact combined volar and non-volar. Week 0 indicates pre-injury time-point. Mean±standard error of the mean, *, ^, # denotes p<0.05 for group comparison using repeated measure analysis of variance and t-tests. All groups are compared with the intact group (n=5). Additionally, 0.6 mm injury displacement (n=6) and 0.8 mm displacement (n=8) are compared with one another.
