Targeted enrichment rehabilitation is more effective than bipedal training after spinal cord injury. Figure 1. Activity tracking data

For quantitative analysis of the recordings from the T-EE cage, tracking of individual animals within the cage was conducted at weeks 3, 6, and 9 post-injuries. From each three-hour-long weekly recording, three 5-min-long segments were selected for analysis: 5-10 mins, 90-95 mins, and 150-155 mins. Distance measurements were conducted using Fiji and the MTrackJ plugin. MTrackJ was used to manually track each rat’s x/y coordinates in mm at every frame of the recording, with the time interval between frames set at 0.2 seconds. The real distances between successive coordinates were calculated and summed to determine the total distance travelled.
