Protocol Steps
BBB Locomotor Scoring Assessment
Rats were assessed using the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring system to evaluate locomotor recovery following spinal cord injury and transplantation
Note: BBB scoring was used as one of the primary outcome measures for locomotor function
View evidence from paper
“examined the effects of these modifications on graft volume, SC number, degradation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), astrogliosis, SC myelination of axons, propriospinal and supraspinal axon numbers, locomotor outcome (BBB scoring, CatWalk gait analysis)”
CatWalk Gait Analysis
Automated gait analysis was performed to assess locomotor function and gait parameters in addition to BBB scoring
Note: CatWalk gait analysis was performed as a complementary measure to BBB scoring
