Table 1 Group of animals showing height of the lesion by MRI and data relating to assessments of physical therapy animals, according to Olby scale before and after the surgical procedure and injection of stem cells
From: Pilot study: bone marrow stem cells as a treatment for dogs with chronic spinal cord injury
Animal | Age-years | Breed | Diagnosis | Lesion | Moment | Olby scale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 6 | Teckel | Intervertebral disc extrusion | T13-L1 | Pre – treatment | 0 | Absence of movement of the hind limbs without feeling deep pain. |
Pos – treatment | 3 | Minimum protraction (movement of a joint) without dislocation of the pelvic limb weight. | |||||
2 | 8 | Teckel | Intervertebral disc extrusion | T13-L3 | Pre – treatment | 0 | Absence of movement of the hind limbs without feeling deep pain. |
Pos – treatment | 3 | Minimum protraction (movement of a joint) without dislocation of the pelvic limb weight. | |||||
3 | 6 | Lhasa Apso | Intervertebral disc extrusion | T11-12 | Pre – treatment | 4 | Protraction of the hind limbs without displacement in a joint weight of at least 50% of the time. |
Pos – treatment | 9 | Protraction of the hindlimbs with weight shift in 100% of the time with reduced strength of hindlimbs. More than 90% error when walking (eg: Crossing pelvic limbs, shuffling walk, stay on station with the backs of the feet, tripping). | |||||
