Can we determine the final recovery outcome of a spinal cord injury patient or not?

  Spinal cord injury not only brings serious physical and psychological harm to the patient himself, but also imposes a huge economic burden on the whole society. Therefore, both family members and the patient himself are very interested in knowing the recovery results of spinal cord injury, and the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine has the advantage of its own discipline in this regard.  The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine adopts the most internationally recognized international spinal cord injury neurological classification standard, which is a new spinal cord injury neurological classification scoring standard proposed by the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) in 1982 to quantify spinal cord injury for statistical and comparative purposes, and was further revised by ASIA in 1997 to make it more complete. The method includes both the level of injury and the degree of injury, so it can accurately determine the level of functional rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury.
