According to recent research from the United States, "Longitudinal studies have established that functional recovery following sciatic nerve injury can be evaluated in the mouse. Injury to the tibial nerve offers several advantages to sciatic nerve injury, including improved lower extremity sensation and end-organ reinnervation."

Walking tracks were...
