Neurologic recovery after traumatic spinal cord injury: data from the Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems.
To present data on neurologic recovery gathered by the Model Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Systems over a 10-year period. ⋯ Neurologic recovery after SCI is influenced by etiology and severity of injury. Multicenter studies on prognostic features such as preserved pin sensation in grade B injuries may identify subgroups with similar recovery patterns. Identification of such groups would facilitate clinical trials for neurologic recovery in acute SCI.
