1 asia IMPAIRMENT SCALE A = Complete:No motor or sensoryfunction is preserved in the sacral segments S4-S5. B = Incomplete: Sensory but not motor function is preserved below the neurological level andincludes the sacral segments S4-S5. C = Incomplete: Motor function is preserved below the neurologicallevel, and more than half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade less than 3. D = Incomplete:Motor function is preserved below the neurologicallevel, and at least half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of 3 or more. E = Normal:motor and sensory function are normalCLINICAL SYNDROMES Central Cord Brown-Sequard Anterior Cord Conus Medullaris Cauda Equina + T11T12L1L2L1L2C2C3C4T3T4T5T6T7T8T9T10L3L 4L5S1S1T2C5T1C6L3L4L5S1T2C5T1C6 Key Sensory PointsC7C8C6C7C8 PalmDorsumPalmDorsumNEUROLOGICALCOMPLETE OR INCOMPLETE?ZONE OF PARTIALLEVELI ncomplete = Any sensory or motor function in S4-S5 PRESERVATIONThe most caudal segmentCaudal extent of partially with normal functionASIA IMPAIRMENT SCALE innervated segmentsRLSENSORYMOTORRLSENSORYMOTORThis form may be copied freely but should not be altered without permission from the American Spinal Injury NEUROLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF SPINAL CORD INJURYMOTORSENSORYRLKEY MUSCLESRLRLC2C2C3C3C4C4C5 Elbow flexors C5C6 Wrist extensors C6C7 Elbow extensors C7C8 finger flexors (distal phalanx of middle finger) C8T1 Finger abductors (little finger)
