Time to cease EMG activity following completion of the contralateral C22 hemisection. Time given in seconds. Recordings were terminated at 5 min after completion of the hemisection. ANOVA shows a significant main effect (p < 0.0001; F(11, 50) = 16.63) with the sham data showing a significance difference to the contusion data at all time points with a minimum of p = 0.05.
