Treadmill running with spinal cord injury

From 2021 to 2025, 77 animal research papers mentioned spinal cord injury and treadmill running in their title or abstract.

That is 20% fewer than the 96 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention spinal cord injury and any of the 90 tests we count rose 25%. The 2021 to 2025 count may run low because of a dip in PubMed's indexing, explained under the year chart.

Papers that mention spinal cord injury and treadmill running fell from 19 in 2021 to 13 in 2022, then rose to 14 in 2025. Part of this dip may come from PubMed's indexing rather than from fewer studies. We take a paper's species from PubMed's indexing when the indexing names one. Otherwise PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find a species in the title or abstract, or the paper is not counted. Papers that PubMed indexed under the subject heading Animals also fell and rose, from 200,221 in 2021 to 156,447 in 2023 and 235,479 in 2025.

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 77 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

Tests mentioned alongside treadmill running

Each bar is one test, with how many of the 77 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 56 (73%) mention no other test.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions spinal cord injury and treadmill running.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

Every pairing of an animal model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on treadmill running counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on spinal cord injury ranks the tests mentioned with it.
