Monthly, all animals were monitored for improvement in their gait and a numerical lameness score was recorded for all groups. 6 months-post surgery, the structural and functional recovery of sciatic nerve was evaluated electrophysiologically, and on the level of gene expression, and both sciatic ...
The mean duration of lameness was 96 days (range: 7–360 days). Based on the grading of the morphological alteration (Table 1) within the joint, five dogs showed mild, 14 dogs moderate and 17 dogs severe synovitis. Dogs with a complete CCL rupture showed statistically significant higher ...

[12]. Numerical rating scales and visual analogue scales are two subjective, observation based methods which are used to evaluate the severity of lameness [13]. A wide range of clinical scales have been described [14] to assist the grading of canine lameness in clinical veterinary practice but...
