Normal sensory/motor function

The impairment is incomplete. Motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, but more than half of the key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade less than 3 (i.e., they are not strong enough to move against gravity)

The impairment is incomplete. Sensory function, but not motor function, is preserved below the neurologic level (the first normal level above the level of injury) and some sensation is preserved in the sacral segments S4 and S5.

The impairment is incomplete. Motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and at least half of the key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade of 3 or more (i.e., the joints can be moved against gravity).

According to the ASIA classification of SCI, what are the key muscles for the C6 level? (Hint:Tenodesis)

According to the ASIA classification of SCI, what are the key muscles for the C5 level?

According to the ASIA classification of SCI, what are the key muscles for the C7?

According to the ASIA classification of SCI, what are the key muscles for the C8 level?

Most common form of an “incomplete spinal cord injury”—one in which the spinal cord's ability to transmit some messages to or from the brain is damaged or reduced below the site of injury to the spinal cord. Casuses weakness in the arms more so than the legs .

A rare disorder affecting the bundle of nerve roots at the lower (lumbar) end of the spinal cord, is a surgical emergency and is marked by bladder/bowel dysfunction and Severe or progressive problems in the lower extremities, including loss of or altered sensation between the legs, over the buttocks, the inner thighs and back of the legs (saddle area), and feet/heels.

A rare neurological condition characterized by a lesion in the spinal cord which results in weakness or paralysis on one side of the body and a loss of sensation on the opposite side

An incomplete cord syndrome that predominantly affects the anterior 2/3 of the spinal cord, characteristically resulting in motor paralysis below the level of the lesion as well as the loss of pain and temperature at and below the level of the lesion
