Fig. 4

Gait parameters of 6-OHDA and sham injected rats. Swing speed (a), stance duration (b), swing duration (c) and print area (d) were significantly altered after 6-OHDA injection. e Stride length was generally decreased (significant main effect for factor treatment but no significant post hoc differences). f Correlation between IH print area and dopamine depletion. Asterisk indicates significant difference between 6-OHDA and sham for the indicated paw. Number sign indicates significant difference between the indicated paw and all other paws within the 6-OHDA group. Depletion severity = 1 − (SUVRceripsi/SUVRcercontra). Abbreviations: CF contralesional forelimb, CH contralesional hindlimb, IF ipsilesional forelimb, IH ipsilesional hindlimb
