This is one of the most common questions raised by patients and their families, how to predict the patient’s future functional rehabilitation goals, the first step is to diagnose the plane and degree of nerve injury (note that the plane of nerve injury we are referring to here is not the vertebral segment of the spinal fracture). The specific method is internationally standardized using the International Standard Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (American Spinal Injury Association, ASIA for short), which is described in many articles on Baidu, so I will not repeat it here. Determine the plane and degree of injury, you can initially predict how far the patient can recover. If a patient has a complete injury, i.e., an AISA classification of A, based on the plane of injury, the patient should be able to achieve the following degree of functional rehabilitation: Neck 4: Able to control the ECU (environmental control system) by blowing, or mouth stick, or M, able to use a motorized wheelchair, and able to instruct others to assist him/her with daily living activities. Neck 5: Able to blow, or mouth stick, or control ECU (environmental control system) with M, able to use power wheelchair, needs a lot of help with daily living. Neck 6:Can drive a wheelchair with a modified handwheel rim (rim with raised handles or fabric to increase friction) by hand, and requires a moderate amount of help with daily living. Neck 7: Can drive a wheelchair, can perform transfers using a skateboard, requires a small amount of assistance with activities of daily living. Cervical 8 – Chest 2: can use a wheelchair to perform various transfer maneuvers, and can basically take care of himself/herself in his/her daily life without any special reasons. Chest 3 – Chest 12: Can live independently in a wheelchair and can perform therapeutic walking. Waist 1-Waist 2: able to live independently in a wheelchair and perform functional walking at home. Below Lumbar 3: Able to live independently in a wheelchair and perform functional walking in the community. Incomplete injury patients, i.e. AIS grading B, C, D and E, indicate that some cells of their spinal cord are still intact, and the prognosis will be better than that of complete injury patients, especially those in grades D and E. If they can get regular and effective rehabilitation treatment, their rehabilitation will be very satisfactory. And it is also common to find cases where the grade of incomplete injury keeps improving due to further repair of nerve function during rehabilitation training. It should be noted that the most important factors affecting the severity of spinal cord injury are the severity of the injury and the duration of acute phase treatment. Since early spinal cord injuries are often combined with spinal shock and other conditions, the prognosis cannot be determined with a single decision, but needs to be evaluated and revised several times during the rehabilitation process.
