Electrical perceptual threshold (EPT) values. (A) The abscissa shows the group tested [Controls, back bar; Acute SCI, white bar; Chronic SCI, light gray bar; E. Chronic SCI (extended-chronic SCI), dark gray bar]. The ordinate shows the stimulus intensity (mA) used when the EPT was detected. Note that mean EPT values were higher in all SCI groups compared with control subjects. (B) The abscissa shows the group tested when we separated the dermatomes located above [Acute SCI, white bar; Chronic SCI, light gray bar; E. Chronic SCI (extended-chronic SCI), dark gray bar] and below [Acute SCI, white bar with lines; Chronic SCI, light gray bar with lines; E. Chronic SCI (extended-chronic SCI), dark gray bar with lines] the sensory level detected by the EPT examination in each SCI participant. The ordinate shows the stimulus intensity (mA) used when the EPT was detected. Note that in all SCI groups, mean EPT values in dermatomes above the sensory level detected by the EPT examination were similar to control subjects but were higher in dermatomes located below the sensory level detected by the EPT examination. Error bars indicate standard errors; *p < 0.05.
