FIG. 3.

Locomotor assessments after spinal cord injury (SCI) using the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale. BBB scores of the contusion animals were significantly greater than those of the transection animals, but significantly smaller than those of the naïve animals. Graph shows quantification of mean ± standard error of the mean values. Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni post-hoc for multiple comparisons. *** p < 0.005 vs. naïve group; ⁺⁺ p < 0.01, ⁺⁺⁺ p < 0.005 vs. contusion group.
