Abstract
International standards for neurological classification of spinal cord injury have been repeatedly revised since the first standards became available in 1982. The last revision, published in 2013, brought about important design and terminology changes to the data record form and some of the formulations.
Also, the non-key muscle concept has been elaborated upon to distinguish between complete and incomplete motor lesion more precisely. The Czech version of the form and its distribution among health care professionals enables improved assessment of a neurological condition and its progression in SCI patients.
