I thought I understood this, then I watched the video. Despite 'understanding' it beforehand I really did learn a lot

I think C and D are wrong, on the ASIA Scale form it states that: ASIA C- Motor Incomplete- Less than half the key muscle functions (50%) below the neurological level have a muscle grade at least 3 or higher

[@PTExamPrep]

Hey Shannon! What you wrote above matches what is in the video, which is correct. Is there somewhere else you are seeing something that is incorrect. I would love to solve any discrepancies

[@shannonhall5797]

@@PTExamPrep I see on ASIA C for Motor Incomplete it says, "More than half the key muscles" when it should say, "Less than half the key muscles" and then for ASIA D for Motor Incomplete it says, "More than half of the key muscles" it's just, "At least half (half or more)".

[@PTExamPrep]

@@shannonhall5797 My apologies, I am still not quite understanding the confusion. ASIA C means that more than 50% of the key muscles have a grade less than 3. So that would mean 6 or more muscles are less than grade 3. ASIA D means that 50% of muscles are higher than grade 3. Perhaps the confusion is in the wording where it says half the key muscles are less than grade 3 (ASIA C) or more than grade 3 (ASIA D)

[@brandontodd14]

@@PTExamPrep Per the ASIA form, ASIA D verbatim is: "Motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and AT LEAST half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of 3 or more." In the video it classifies ASIA D as: more than half of the muscles below the NLI have a muscle grade greater or equal to 3. So which is it? For example, what if exactly half of the muscles have a score of 3?

[@NaziaAli-et6vb]

Mam does ASIA C AND ASIA D have sensory present?

[@scuddelpilar8450]

I THINK THE LAST QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ASIA D ?

[@albertopicciau8202]

Is this type of exam performed into a normal neurological office by our neurologist or into an hospital emergency unity or spinal unity only?

[@PTExamPrep]

For the purpose of the physio exam, you want to understand how t he ASIA scale affects functional expectations and treatment expectations.

[@albertopicciau8202]

Thank you for your support. We'll be releasing more videos in 2023 :)

[@TheUlrina]

Thank you so much for the video. I have a doubt.. the key muscles are 6 in number. Then why it is not ASIA B? Don’t we have to consider both side key muscles?

[@PTExamPrep]

Hey! You want to think about how many key muscles have strength above or less than grade 3 muscle strength

[@TheUlrina]
