Spinal Cord Injury

American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (modified from the Frankel classification) :

• A = Complete: No sensory or motor function is preserved in sacral segments S4-S5
• B = Incomplete: Sensory, but not motor, function is preserved below the neurologic level and extends through sacral segments S4-S5
• C = Incomplete: Motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and most key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade of less than 3
• D = Incomplete: Motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and most key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade that is greater than or equal to 3
• E = Normal: Sensory and motor functions are normal
