complete injury =
no sesnory or motor below lesion
9
incomplete injury =
sesnory or motor below lesion
10
ASIA A
complete.No sensory or motor funciton preserved in sacral segments S4-5
11
complete.No sensory or motor funciton preserved in sacral segments S4-5
ASIA A
12
ASIA B
sensory incomplete - sensory preserved below level (S4-5) AND no motor funciton more than 3 levels below
13
sensory incomplete - sensory preserved below level (S4-5) AND no motor funciton more than 3 levels below
ASIA B
14
ASIA C
motor incomplete - motor preserved fo vol anal contraction OR pt meets "sesnory incomplete" status and has motor funciton more than 3 levels below. Less than 1/2 key mm have greater or equal to 3 mmT
15
motor incomplete - motor preserved fo vol anal contraction OR pt meets "sesnory incomplete" status and has motor funciton more than 3 levels below. Less than 1/2 key mm have greater or equal to 3 mmT
ASIA C
16
ASIA D
motor incomplete - same as ASIA C (motor preserved fo vol anal contraction OR pt meets "sesnory incomplete" status and has motor funciton more than 3 levels below.) BUT 1.2 or more key mm have greater than or equal to 3 MMT
17
motor incomplete - same as ASIA C (motor preserved fo vol anal contraction OR pt meets "sesnory incomplete" status and has motor funciton more than 3 levels below.) BUT 1.2 or more key mm have greater than or equal to 3 MMT
ASIA D
18
ASIA E
normal sesation
19
what SCI syndrome:

cervical flexion MOI
loss of pain and tmeprature below lesion
preservation of light touch, prop and position sense
anterior cord syndrome
20
anterior cord syndrome
cervical flexion MOI
loss of pain and tmeprature below lesion
preservation of light touch, prop and position sense
INCOMPLETE
21
what is lost and what is preserved in anterior cord syndrome
lost - pain, temp
preserved: light touch, prop and position sense
22
what tracts are damaged in anterior cord syndrome
damaged: corticospinal and spinothalamic
23
what SCI syndrome:

Stab wound MOI
same side - loss of vibration and position sense with parlysis
opposite side - loss of pain and temp
browns sequards
24
browns sequard clinical presentation
same side - loss of vibration and position sense with parlysis
opposite side - loss of pain and temp
25
what elvel is cauda equina below
L1

what is more involved in central cord syndrome??

UE or LE

motor or sensory
UE > LE
motor > sensory
