ASIA Flashcards
ASIA A
Complete - no sensory or motor in S4-5
ASIA B
Sensory incomplete - sensory but not motor preserved below neurologic level and extends through S4-5
ASIA C
Motor incomplete - motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and most key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade less than 3
ASIA D
Motor incomplete - motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and most key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade of 3 or better
ASIA E
Normal
ASIA motor level
determined by most caudal key muscles that have strength of 3 or greater with the superior segment as normal/5
ASIA motor index scoring
0-5 per muscle, 25 pts per extremity for a total possible of 100
ASIA sensory level
most caudal dermatome with normal score of 2/2 for pinprick and light touch
