Figure 8

Functional recovery was weekly assessed using the BBB score, the CatWalk XT gait analysis, and the grid walk test (control, n = 9; NPC, n = 13). (A) Although group differences do not reach statistical significance, BBB scores are continuously higher in the NPC group compared to the control group at all observed time points. (B) The density curve, showing the distribution of BBB scores in each group for the first (week 1) and the last (week 8) time point, is clearly clinched toward higher scores in the NPC group. (C) The parameter “Print area” in the CatWalk XT analysis 8 weeks after SCI shows significantly better results (i.e., a larger forelimb area) in the NPC group compared to the control group. (D) The NPC group exhibits higher values in the forelimb parameter “Swing speed” of the CatWalk XT test without reaching statistical significance. (E) NPC-transplanted animals made only marginally fewer step errors in the grid walk test compared to control animals.
