Evaluation of Diaphragmatic electromyography of cervical spinal cord hemi section in Rat model

Abstract

19 Objective: Estimation the degree of induced hemisection damage of the cervical 20 segments of the two separately diaphragmatic pillars in rat model using 21 Electromyography (EMG). 22 Design: Prospective controlled study. 23 Animals: Sixteen Sprague dawely rats were divided into 2 groups 24 Procedures: Cervical hemi lateral cord section below the cervical dorsal root number 25 2 was induced with micro scalpel. After 28 days post-injury, EMG record was done at 26 Formatted: Justified Formatted: Justified Formatted: Justified
