We studied the level of spontaneous post-traumatic recovery of motor function in male FVB mice. The left-side spinal cord hemisection was a model of damage. The locomotor activity and spasticity of the hindlimb were determined using the BBB and B scales and the Ashword scale during the first 12 weeks of the post-traumatic period. According to the results of the experimental study, at a later date in the post-traumatic period, the restoration of the function of the hind limb was observed at the level of 3.22 ± 0.46 points (out of 21 possible) on the BBB scale and 1.88 ± 0.27 points (out of 9 possible) on the B scale. Such indicators of hind limb locomotor activity conform to the phase of early recovery. However, at all studied time intervals after spinal cord injury, a consistently high level of hindlimb spasticity in experimental animals was noted – 3.17 ± 0.46 (out of 4 possible) on the Ashword scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
