Levels of spinal cord injury and predictors of neurologic recovery

S C Kirshblum et al. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2000 Feb.

Abstract

A comprehensive physical examination of the patient with acute spinal cord injury is essential in determining the initial level of injury and is the most accurate method of prognosticating neurologic recovery. Understanding neurologic recovery helps predict ultimate functional capability and needs, and helps evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacologic and therapeutic interventions.
