American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale

The International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI), commonly referred to as the ASIA Exam, was developed by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) as a universal classification tool for spinal cord injuries based on a standardized sensory and motor assessment. It involves both a Motor and Sensory examination to determine the Sensory Level and Motor Level for each side of the body (Right and Left), the single Neurological Level of Injury (NLI) and whether the injury is Complete or Incomplete.

Administration time varies 10-60 minutes.
