## Abstract Computerized rat gait analysis has become an invaluable technique of functional evaluation for some peripheral nerve investigators, comparing the normal and the pathological kinematic data. Appropriate selection of the methods to evaluate the functional outcome should be sensitive enoug
The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of rapid intraoperative elongation of the rat sciatic nerve with the use of tissue expander and to assess its functional recovery. Out of 51 rats 43 had their right sciatic nerve expanded with a 5-ml intraoperative expander over 1 hr and 8
## Abstract Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been demonstrated to enhance mammalian peripheral nerve regeneration in vitro and in vivo. Using an EMF signal shown to enhance neurite outgrowth in vitro, we tested this field in vivo using three different amplitudes. The rat sciatic nerve was crushed
The effect of long-term denervation on neuromuscular recovery was studied in a rat hind limb model. The posterior tibial nerve was transected and repaired immediately or after denervation periods of 2 weeks, or 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Six months following reconstruction excellent axonal regenerati
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used in limited settings to study peripheral nerve injury. The purpose of the study is to determine whether highβresolution OCT can be used to monitor nerve injury and regeneration in the rat sciatic nerve followin
