Fiber type grouping during reinnervation after 1, 3, 9, 27 and 81 days of phrenicotomy.

Median, interquartile ranges, values (+) and quantile regression (dashed line) of normalized permutation entropy (PeEn) values in the sternal (A), mid-costal (B) and crural (C) area 1–81 days after phrenicotomy such as in the non-denervated side (grey area: minimum and maximum).

<p>*: Significant increase of PeEn from day 1 to day 81 (quantile regression, threshold p<0.05).</p
