level of lesion refers to the neurological level. impairment scale: A, complete, no sensory or motor function is preserved in sacral segments S4-S5; B, incomplete, sensory but not motor function is preserved below the neurological level and extends through sacral segments S4-S5; C, incomplete, motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and more than half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of <3; D, incomplete, motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and at least half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of >3. score: sum of segmental light touch and pinprick classifications. ASIA: American Spinal Injury Association. VAS: visual analogue scale.
