Hierachical theory- says that higher centers control on lower center; but when higher center damage then this inhibitory control from the higher center is loss which leads to exageration of the movt.
In normal individual, these occur a smooth, rhythmic movt. Because there is a presence of control from higher center on lower center.
This scale is used to categrise spinal cord injury patients. it helps prognosticate the spinal cord injuires. it also helps define the treatment protocols for spinal cord injury patients. American Spinal Cord Injury Association made this scale so as to make a standardization in assesemnent technique in acute spinal cord injury patients.

International standards for neurological classification of spinal cordJoe Antony
The International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) or more commonly referred to as the ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS), was developed by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) as a universal classification tool for Spinal Cord Injury based on a standardized sensory and motor assessment, with the most recent revised edition published in 2011. The impairment scale involves both a motor and sensory examination to determine the sensory and motor levels for the right and left side, the overall neurological level of the injury and completeness of the injury i.e. whether the injury is complete or incomplete.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. Spinal Cord
• Conduit for motor and sensory between brain and body
• Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects conduction of Sensory & Motor
signals
3. History
AMERICAN SPINAL INJURY ASSOCIATION(ASIA)
• 1982 –First developed the International Standards for Neurological
Classification of Spinal Cord Injury
• 1992 - Revised. Endorsed by International Medical Society of Paraplegia-
Renamed International Standards for Neurological and Functional
Classification of Spinal Cord injury.
• 1994 – first published reference manual
• 2000 - revised and the term “Functional” was deleted from the name
• 2011- the latest version of ISNCSCI had been published.
Kirshblum et al
4. ASIA measures:
• NEUROLOGICAL LEVEL
• SENSORY LEVEL
• MOTOR LEVEL
• SENSORY SCORE (pin prick and light touch)
• MOTOR SCORE
• ZONE OF PARTIAL PRESERVATION
5. Definitions
TETRAPLEGIA
• impairment or loss of sensory and/or motor function in cervical
segments.
• impairment of function in the arms as well as the trunk, legs and
pelvic organs. (four extremities)
• Does not include brachial plexus lesions or injury to
peripheral nerves
6. PARAPLEGIA
• impairment or loss of motor and/or sensory function in the thoracic,
lumbar or sacral
• Arm functioning is spared
• trunk, legs, pelvic organs may be involved depends on the level
• eg. Cauda equina and Conus medullaris
7. Myotome
• refers to the collection of muscle fibers
innervated by the motor axons within each
segmental nerve (root).
Dermatome
•refers to the area of the skin innervated by
the sensory axons within each segmental
nerve (root).
8. Neurological level of injury (NLI)
•refers to the most caudal segment of the
spinal cord with normal sensory and
antigravity motor function on both sides of the
body, provided that there is normal (intact)
sensory and motor function rostrally.
9. Sensory level
• The sensory level is determined by performing
an examination of the key sensory points within
each of the 28 dermatomes on each side of the
body (right and left) and is the most caudal,
normally innervated dermatome for both pin
prick (sharp/dull dis- crimination) and light
touch sensation. This may be different for the
right and left side of the body.
10. Motor level
• The motor level is determined by examining a key
muscle function within each of 10 myotomes on
each side of the body and is defined by the lowest
key muscle function that has a grade of at least 3
providing the key muscle functions represented by
segments above that level are judged to be intact.
• This may be different for the right and left side of
the body.
11. Components of the Test
Main Parts of
Examination
1) Manual Muscle Power
Testing
2) Light Touch sensation
3) Pinprick Sensation
Lowest level of
Motor Control
- Voluntary Anal
Contraction
Lowest level of
Sensation
- Deep Anal Pressure
12. Explaining the examination to your PATIENTS
This is not a fun exam
•Uncomfotable
•Confusing
•Requires patience
13. 1) Help in determining where the level of Spinal Cord
was injured
2) It might be different than what was seen on the
MRI or CT Scan
3) This is the main test we use to determine what
level the injury was, how severe it was, and a
rough idea of what we could expect for recovery
The importance of the Exam:
14. Timing of the Examination
• The initial examination should be done in EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT for
Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
• Attempt to determine motor level, sensory level, completeness of injury and AIS
score
• However it is difficult to obtain a complete and reliable results in ED
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Pain
• Respiratory Failure
• Shock
• Cognitive Changes
• Drugs
15. Sensory
• Key point in each of the 28
dermatomes (from C2 to S4-
S5) on the right and left sides
• Two aspects of sensation are
examined:
• light touch
• pin prick (sharp-dull
discrimination)
16. LIGHT TOUCH
• wisp cotton
• applied lightly.
• Stroke across skin. Not
exceed 1 cm
• Done with eyes close
PIN PRICK
• standard safety pin
• pointed end for sharpness
• rounded end for dullness
• apply light pressure without
moving pin after point of
contact
17. Sensory Test of Anal Region
•S4-S5 dermatome
•Perianal Sensation
•Deep Anal Sensation
18. Sensory Grading
0 = absent
1 = impaired ( partial or altered appreciation
including hyperesthesia)
2 = normal
NT = not testable
25. Manual Muscle Testing Grading
Strength
Grade
Description
5/5 Full Strength, Full ROM
4/5 Provides some strength against resistance for full ROM
3/5 Can perform movement against gravity for full ROM
2/5 Can perform movement with gravity eliminated for full ROM
1/5 Some muscle activity (Palpable or Visible), but unable to move
against gravity
0/5 No muscle activity detected
26. Other considerations:
• The grade must be achieved with FULL RANGE OF
MOTION at the given resistance level
• Not Testable (NT) for limbs that you are not certain of
5/5 strength
-could not be tested due to pain/ casting/fracture
*NO PLUSES OR MINUSES !!!!!!
27. Positioning for motor examination
• Neutral position for Grade 3 testing
• Strategically eliminate gravity for Grade 2 testing
• When testing for Grade 4 and 5, the muscle is
positioned in a manner that partially activates
the muscles
• Patient is instructed to maintain that position
• C6 Wrist in full extension
42. ASIA Impairment Scale Classification
1. Determine sensory level for right and left side
• The lowest level with a 2 (normal) for both pinprick
and light touch where every level higher is also 2
• The sensory level may be different on the left and
right sides
43. AIS Classification
• Determine motor levels for right and left sides
• The lowest level where the muscle grade is at least a
3, with all muscles above graded as a 5
• In regions where there is no myotome to test, the
motor level is presumed to be the same as the sensory
level.
45. AIS Classification
• 4. Determine whether the injury is Complete or In
complete. If complete AIS Grade = A
• Defined by presence/absence of sacral sparing
• If NO voluntary anal contraction AND all S4-5 sensory
scores are 0 AND there NO deep anal pressure then
the injury is complete
• NOOOON Sign
N NO O O O
46. AIS Classification
5. Determine ASIA impairment Scale grade
• A = Complete.
• B = Sensory incomplete.
• C = Motor incomplete.
• D = Motor incomplete.
• E = Normal.
52. Zone of Partial Preservation
• Only defined for AIS A – COMPLETE lesions
• Lowest dermatome and myotome on either side with
any preserved function (even if abnormal)

Editor's Notes
spinal cord is the major conduit through which motor and sensory information travels between the brain and body.
1982 as the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injuries in order to develop greater precision in the definitions used to classify spinal cord injury (SCI).
The ASIA Standards defined the neurological levels and the extent of the injury (utilizing the Frankel Scale)
There are two kinds of sensory modalities when it comes to touch sensation. These are fine or discriminative touch, and crude or non-discriminative touch. Fine touch enables a person to not only sense touch, but also localize it. The localization of touch through fine touch modality is made possible by the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway, which carries the information to the cerebral cortex. On the other hand, crude touch is a sensory modality that lets a person sense touch without having the ability to localize where the stimulus was applied. The spinothalamic tract is responsible in housing the fibers that relay information on crude touch
