Fig 4. Post-operative RGS scores comparison.

Fig 4

Change of RGS scores from baseline values of rats (n = 6 per group) subjected to laminectomy using conventional (CONV-LAM) or motorized dental burr assisted (DBA-LAM) technique at, or subjected to spinal cord injury induced using conventional (CONV-SCI) or dental burr assisted (DBA-SCI) technique during the study period. RGS scores differed significantly on Day 1 (a) and Day 7 (b) post-operatively between groups, as determined by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons. On Day 14 (c) postoperatively, ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons revealed a significant difference in RGS score in CONV-SCI group compared to the CONV-LAM group. No differences between groups were observed Day 21 (d) or Day 28 (e). Data are presented as scatter plot with each dot representing one individual animal, the horizontal line the mean and the whiskers the standard deviation. ** = P<0.01.
