Kinematic gait outcomes. (A) Prior to injury (week 0) there was no difference in the step duration between untrained and trained. At 4-weeks there was a significant improvement in step duration for trained animals (* p = 0.002), which continued at week 7 post-injury (** p = 0.04). At 10-weeks post-injury, however, both animals had similar step duration values. (B) Hip to toe maximum (distance between the toe and hip in a step cycle) was the same for both groups prior to and after injury. No difference was found between groups at 4 and 7-weeks but at 10-weeks the mean hip to maximum of untrained animals was significantly different from trained animals (*** p = 0.05). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM.
