摘要: Abstract We investigated the relationship between number of axons spared by an incomplete spinal cord injury and locomotor efficiency animal's hindlimbs. found that residual fiber counts in excess 5,000 are paralleled “useful” hindlimb assistance to upward locomotion, there is a significant correlation two measurements. The significance this finding discussed regards concept “locomotion command system” often-found dissociation severe damage minimal clinical functional loss.
