The ISNCSCI Examination

The ISNCSCI (International Standards to classify the neurological level and severity of spinal cord injury) examination assesses how a spinal cord injury affects muscle strength and sensation. It involves testing different points on the body to determine which areas have normal sensation or movement, and which are impaired or numb. The results help categorize the injury’s severity and location, guiding treatment and prognosis. This standardized assessment ensures consistent communication among healthcare providers and supports research. Overall, it’s a thorough, systematic way to evaluate the impact of spinal cord injuries on motor and sensory functions.
