International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury

The International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) is a system used by healthcare professionals to assess and document the level and severity of spinal cord injuries. It involves testing muscle strength and sensory functions (touch and pinprick) in specific areas to determine the extent of neurological damage. This standardized method helps accurately classify injuries, predict potential recovery, and guide treatment. Essentially, it provides a precise, universal way to understand how a spinal cord injury affects an individual's nervous system function.
