Manual muscle testing : Trace (1)
Contraction can be felt, but there is no motion
Manual muscle testing: Poor minus (2)
Part moves through incomplete ROM with gravity decreased
Manual muscle testing: Poor (2)
Part moves through complete ROM with gravity decreased
Manual muscle testing: Poor plus (2+)
Part moves through incomplete ROM against gravity or through complete ROM with gravity decreased against slight resistance
Manual muscle testing: Fair minus (3)
Part moves through incomplete ROM against gravity
Manual muscle testing: Fair (3)
Part moves though complete ROM against gravity
Manual muscle testing: Fair plus (3+)
Part moves through complete ROM against gravity and slight resistance
Manual muscle testing: Good (4)

Manual muscle testing: Normal (5)
Part moves through complete ROM against gravity and full resistance
Medical complications of spinal cord injury (SCI)
- Skin breakdown
- Pressure sores
- Decubitus ulcers
This ASIA classification indicates a complete lesion, no motor/sensory function in the sacral segments S4-S5
ASIA classification A
This ASIA classification indicates an incomplete lesion, sensory but no motor function below the neurological level and includes sacral segments S4-S5
ASIA classification B
This ASIA classification indicates an complete lesion, motor function below the neurological level, and more than half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade less than 3
ASIA classification C
This ASIA classification indicates an incomplete lesion, motor function below the neurological level, and at least half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of 3 or more
ASIA classification D
This ASIA classification indicates that motor and sensory function is normal
ASIA classification E
any degree of paralysis of the 4 limbs and trunk musculature
Tetraplegia (quadriplegia)
paralysis of the LE with some involvement of the trunk and hips depending on the level of lesion
Paraplegia
PLISSIT stands for
