A simple scoring of beam walking performance after spinal cord injury in mice
Fig 2
Comparison of BMS scores between mice which did not move forward on the beam and those which did after SCI.
(A, C, E, G) Percentages of ICR (A, E) and C57BL/6 (C, G) mice before (pre) and 1 day (d), and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks (w) after mild (A, C) and severe (E, G) SCI which moved forward on the beam during the test. (B, D, F, H) ICR (B, F) and C57BL/6 (D, H) mice 1 day, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after mild (B, D) and severe (F, H) SCI were divided into those which did not move forward on the beam (immobility) and those which did. BMS scores of the 2 groups were compared. Mann-Whitney U test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
