  • Locomotor performance of eight cats using four criteria (balance assistance, requirement of perineal stimulation to evoke locomotion, and proper digitigrade placement of the left and right hindpaw). % values indicate the percentage of cycles with correct digitigrade placement in some cats. The left column is cat identification (ID). In the time point column, Hemi 1 and Hemi 2 refer to the first and second hemisections, respectively. The week that data were collected after the first and second hemisections is indicated for each time point in individual cats. wk = week.
