Classifying clinical phenotypes of functional recovery for acute traumatic spinal cord injury. An observational cohort study

CONCLUSION: Acknowledging the presence of four characteristic subgroups of patients with distinct phenotypes of functional recovery based on PPSS, LEMS, and UEMS could be used by clinicians early after tSCI to plan rehabilitation and establish realistic goals. An improved sensory function could be key for potentiating motor gains, as a PPSS ≥ 27 was a predictor of a good function.PMID:38390856 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2320267
