A scale has been developed for assessment of the severity of spinal cord injury and the prognosis for recovery. Based on neurological examination, this scale employs numerical grading of selected functions below the level of the injury. The scale is adaptable to prospective as well as retrospective studies, and provides a reliable estimation of prognosis and, therefore, a means of comparing the effectiveness of differing treatment modalities. In relation to a group of 37 patients with cervical spinal cord injury treated under one protocol and assessed within 24 hours and again at 1 year from injury, a descriptive model of the patterns of recovery has been obtained. Relative recovery of the initial deficit measured as a "percentage recovery ratio" is presented as an analytical tool for comparison of effectiveness of different methods of therapy.
已开发出一种用于评估脊髓损伤严重程度和恢复预后的量表。该量表基于神经学检查，对损伤平面以下选定的功能进行数字分级。该量表适用于前瞻性和回顾性研究，能对预后进行可靠评估，从而为比较不同治疗方式的效果提供一种方法。针对一组按照同一方案治疗的37例颈髓损伤患者，在伤后24小时内及伤后1年进行评估，获得了恢复模式的描述性模型。以“恢复百分比”衡量的初始功能缺损的相对恢复情况作为一种分析工具，用于比较不同治疗方法的效果。
