Metrics of functional recovery for porous and nonporous conduits in the mouse femoral nerve repair model. Conduits are either P or NP, and are filled with either a generally cell-friendly matrix (Collagen) or a matrix consisting of m-HNK grafted to collagen (CollagenHNK). (A) FBA for a 15-week period after surgical insertion of the four different conduit types. (B) RI for FBA at week 15. Each dot represents one animal in the group. The line indicates the average RI for the group (*p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Fisher's LSD post hoc test). (C) PLR for all conduit types (*p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test). (D) RI for PLR at week 15. Each dot represents one animal in the group. The line indicates the average RI for the group. FBA, foot base angle; NP, nonporous; P, porous; PLR, protraction limb ratio; RI, recovery index.
