 The study aimed to develop an ovine model of spinal cord injury using hemisection to test novel neuromodulation-based methods on spasticity. Three sheeps underwent hemisectioning, and quantitative gait analysis was completed pre- and post-injury. While measurable differences in most gait metrics were observed, relatively few were above the predicted thresholds based on error levels expected from the data. Variations in injury severity were observed across animals, but the hemisection approach has procedural ease and reduced technical complexity. This article was authored by S. Wilson, D. C.
