          Abstract

          We evaluated the time course of the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS) for up to three months in participants within 72 h after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) with complete paralysis. We aimed to determine the most useful sacral-sparing examination (deep anal pressure [DAP], voluntary anal contraction [VAC], S4-5 light touch [LT], or pin prick [PP] sensation) in determining AIS grades.
