Comparison of the functional evaluation methods in rat sciatic nerve model by a new system

Abstract

Objectives: Siatic functional index (SFI) and ankle stance angle (ASA) are two methods commonly used in the evaluation of functional nerve recovery in rat sciatic nerve models. In this study we designed a new walking track by which synchronous SFI and ASA measurements were made, evaluating the relationship between these measurements and functional nerve recovery. Methods: Twenty-one rats were divided into three groups: the sciatic nerve was crushed in the first group, transected in the second, and in the third group, it was first cut then repaired by the epineural technique. Three months later the rats were allowed to walk on the track, with a mirror beneath, which made it possible to synchronously record the step cycles and the images of the sole reflected on the mirror. Images were transmitted to the computer and SFI and ASA were measured from the data obtained. Siatic functional index was measured using the classical method as well. Results: Because of foot problems resulting from severe nerve injury, it was impossible to measure SFI in four rats in group II and in two rats in group III, whereas ASA was measured in all rats. There was no difference between SFI values obtained by classical and new methods (p>0.05). Both methods showed that the best functional results and the worst functional recovery were obtained in group I and group II, respectively. Group III rats exhibited a significant improvement by SFI measurements (p<0.05), but this could not be demonstrated by ASA values (p>0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that it was possible to measure SFI and ASA synchronously by the new walking-track, that severe nerve injuries might lead to some data loss in SFI measurements, and that there was no complete correlation between SFI and ABDA in the evaluation of functional nerve recovery.
