The inter- and intraobserver reliability of the walking-track analysis of sciatic nerve function in the rat was assessed. Twenty-five walking tracks were assessed on three different occasions by four observers. Whereas the interobserver reliability was found to be excellent (r = 0.92), the intraobse
In order to confirm the reliability of the sciatic functional index (SFI) in the rat, SFI, muscle strength, electrophysiological, and morphometric assessments were carried out from the 10th day to the sixth month after nerve injury or repair. The morphology (r = 0.925-0.996, P < 0.01 or P < 0.001).
To evaluate the validity of sciatic function index as a reliable functional parameter in assessing regeneration of rat sciatic nerve through a l cm gap, we undertook the following investigation. Sixty-three adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups for repair of a 1 cm gap created
