Abstract

An in vivo experimental method was developed to measure the mechanical or rheological properties of the spinal cord of anesthetized cats. This novel approach resulted in measurements of the tensile force in the cord and the modulus of the spinal cord tissue under longitudinal elongation. Both sensory and motor function of the cats recovered within a week after a spinal cord segment had been stretched by a 50% elongation.
