The mean diameters of the tibalis anterior muscle fiber in the spinal cord transection group and in the sciatic nerve transection group were less than those in the control group. There was no significant difference between the mean diameter of tibialis anterior muscle fiber in the spinal cord transection group and in the sciatic nerve transaction group. The open bars indicate control at 0 week, 1 week and 2 weeks, the gray bars indicate 1 and 2 weeks after spinal cord transection, and the black bars indicate 1 and 2 weeks after sciatic nerve transection.
