Open-field locomotion was assessed using the 21-point BBB scale. Animals were assessed weekly for 8 weeks following injury by blinded observers (n = 8/sham and AdV-ZFP-VEGF groups; n = 10/injured control and AdV-eGFP groups). The left and right limbs were scored individually, but the data presented is the average between left and right hindlimb recovery.
