Median of ASIA classes and MEP and SEP scores in the presence or absence of WD in the DC, PT, or ST. p value represents statistical significance, r value represents effect strength. For statistical analyses, ASIA classes were transferred to numeric (0–3), and results were transferred back to classes for reporting. WD, Wallerian degeneration; MEP, motor evoked potential; SEP, sensory evoked potential; DC, dorsal column; CS, lateral corticospinal tract; ST, lateral spinothalamic tract; ns, not significant
