Figure 1. Functional Recovery Varies According to Crush Severity.
In untreated mice, walking track analysis was performed at various time points after crush injury to track functional recovery, as indicated by the sciatic function index (SFI). A higher SFI indicates worse function. All 3 groups recover function by 28 days post-injury, and the severity of injury affected the time to recovery. (*P<0.05 between mild and moderate; †P<0.05 between mild and severe; ‡P<0.05 between moderate and severe).
