Muscle Function Grading
0 = total paralysis
1 = palpable or visible contraction
2 = active movement, full range of motion (ROM) with gravity eliminated
3 = a ctive movement, full ROM against gravity
4 = active movement, full ROM against gravity and moderate resistance in a muscle
specific position
5 = (normal) active movement, full ROM against gravity and full resistance in a
functional muscle position expected from an otherwise unimpaired person
5* = (normal) active movement, full ROM against gravity and sufficient resistance to
be considered normal if identified inhibiting factors (i.e. pain, disuse) were not present
NT = not testable (i.e. due to immobilization, severe pain such that the patient
cannot be graded, amputation of limb, or contracture of > 50% of the normal ROM)
Sensory Grading
0 = Absent
1 = Altered, either decreased/impaired sensation or hypersensitivity
2 = Normal
NT = Not testable
When to Test Non-Key Muscles:
In a patient with an apparent AIS B classification, non-key muscle functions
more than 3 levels below the motor level on each side should be tested to
most accurately classify the injury (differentiate between AIS B and C).
Movement
Root level
Shoulder: Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation
Elbow: Supination
C5
C6
Finger: Flexion at proximal joint, extension. Thumb: Flexion, extension and abduction in plane of thumb
C7
Finger: Flexion at MCP joint Thumb: Opposition, adduction and abduction perpendicular
to palm
C8
Elbow: Pronation
Wrist: Flexion
T1
Hip: Adduction
L2
Hip: External rotation L3
Hallux: Adduction
the sacral segments S4-5.
B = Sensory Incomplete. Sensory but not motor function
is preserved below the neurological level and includes the sacral
segments S4-5 (light touch or pin prick at S4-5 or deep anal
pressure) AND no motor function is preserved more than three
levels below the motor level on either side of the body.
C = Motor Incomplete. Motor function is preserved at the
most caudal sacral segments for voluntary anal contraction (VAC)
OR the patient meets the criteria for sensory incomplete status
(sensory function preserved at the most caudal sacral segments
(S4-S5) by LT, PP or DAP), and has some sparing of motor
function more than three levels below the ipsilateral motor level
on either side of the body.
(This includes key or non-key muscle functions to determine
motor incomplete status.) For AIS C – less than half of key
muscle functions below the single NLI have a muscle grade ≥ 3.
D = Motor Incomplete. Motor incomplete status as defined
above, with at least half (half or more) of key muscle functions
below the single NLI having a muscle grade ≥ 3.
the ISNCSCI are graded as normal in all segments, and the
patient had prior deficits, then the AIS grade is E. Someone
without an initial SCI does not receive an AIS grade.
Using ND: To document the sensory, motor and NLI levels,
the ASIA Impairment Scale grade, and/or the zone of partial
preservation (ZPP) when they are unable to be determined
based on the examination results.

The following order is recommended for determining the classification of
individuals with SCI.
1. Determine sensory levels for right and left sides.
The sensory level is the most caudal, intact dermatome for both pin prick and
light touch sensation.
2. Determine motor levels for right and left sides.
Defined by the lowest key muscle function that has a grade of at least 3 (on
supine testing), providing the key muscle functions represented by segments
above that level are judged to be intact (graded as a 5).
Note: in regions where there is no myotome to test, the motor level is
presumed to be the same as the sensory level, if testable motor function above
that level is also normal.
3. Determine the neurological level of injury (NLI)
This refers to the most caudal segment of the cord with intact sensation and
antigravity (3 or more) muscle function strength, provided that there is normal
(intact) sensory and motor function rostrally respectively.
The NLI is the most cephalad of the sensory and motor levels determined in
steps 1 and 2.
4. Determine whether the injury is Complete or Incomplete.
(i.e. absence or presence of sacral sparing)
If voluntary anal contraction = No AND all S4-5 sensory scores = 0
AND deep anal pressure = No, then injury is Complete.
Otherwise, injury is Incomplete.
5. Determine ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) Grade:
Is injury Complete? If YES, AIS=A and can record
ZPP (lowest dermatome or myotome
NO
on each side with some preservation)
Is injury Motor Complete? If YES, AIS=B
NO
(No=voluntary anal contraction OR motor function
more than three levels below the motor level on a
given side, if the patient has sensory incomplete
classification)
Are at least half (half or more) of the key muscles below the
neurological level of injury graded 3 or better?
NO
L4
Hallux and Toe: DIP and PIP flexion and abduction
A = Complete. No sensory or motor function is preserved in
E = Normal. If sensation and motor function as tested with
Finger: Abduction of the index finger
Hip: Extension, abduction, internal rotation
Knee: Flexion
Ankle: Inversion and eversion
Toe: MP and IP extension

CLASSIFICATION OF SPINAL CORD INJURY
AIS=C
YES
AIS=D
If sensation and motor function is normal in all segments, AIS=E
Note: AIS E is used in follow-up testing when an individual with a documented
SCI has recovered normal function. If at initial testing no deficits are found, the
individual is neurologically intact; the ASIA Impairment Scale does not apply.
