chApTEr Normal Values and Assessments
C h a p te r 1. Normal Values and Assessments ASIA Classification of Spinal Cord Injury The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) has developed a spinal injury classification system based on specific motor and sensory Assessments as depicted in the figure on page 2. Motor function is determined by manual muscle testing of 10 key muscles. Results of manual muscle tests are expressed numerically. Dermatomal sensation assessment for pinprick and light touch is performed and scored numerically. The ASIA Impairment Scale, using letters A to E, represents the overall classification of the spinal injury. 1. 1 4/23/12 12:28:49 P. 2 chApTEr 1 Normal Values and Assessments STANDARD NEUROLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF.
