When Kate Van Buskirk won the women’s 3,000 metres at the historic Millrose Games, it was a victory that went way beyond crossing the line first. The 29-year-old runner from Brampton, Ont., is finally feeling healthy and fit after two years of battling spondyloarthropathy, a crippling condition that left her unable to even roll over in bed, let alone roar down a track.

We used an established mouse model of elbow flexion contracture after neonatal brachial plexus injury to test the hypothesis that preservation of afferent innervation protects against contractures and is associated with preservation of muscle spindles and ErbB signaling. A model of preganglionic C5 through C7 NBPI was first tested in mice with fluorescent axons using confocal imaging to confirm preserved afferent innervation of spindles despite motor end plate denervation.
