TL;DR: The TLISS has good reliability and compares favorably to other contemporary thoracolumbar fracture classification systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability and repeatability of the motor and sensory examination of the international standards for neurological classification of spinal cord injury.
TL;DR: The summed scores for motor, LT, and PP in subjects with complete SCI have high interrater reliability and small repeatability values, which are appropriately reliable for use in clinical trials involving serial neurological examinations with multiple examiners.
Journal ArticleDOI

Daniel P. Lammertse,David Dungan,James Dreisbach,Scott Falci,Adam E. Flanders,Ralph J. Marino,Eric Schwartz +6 more
TL;DR: An evidence-based review of the literature on neuroimaging techniques utilized in spinal cord injury clinical practice and research found MRI should be used as the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of the spinal cord after injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

John F. Ditunno,Hugues Barbeau,Bruce H. Dobkin,Robert Elashoff,Susan J. Harkema,Ralph J. Marino,Walter W. Hauck,David F. Apple,D. Michele Basso,Andrea L. Behrman,Daniel Deforge,Lisa Fugate,Michael Saulino,Michael Scott,Joanie Chung +14 more
TL;DR: The combination of the LEMS, BBS, WISCI, 50FW-S, and LFIM appears to encompass adequate descriptors for outcomes of walking trials for incomplete SCI, supported by significant correlations with all measures at 3, 6, and 12 months.
