The influence of conventional T < sub > 2 < /sub > MRI indices in predicting who will walk outside one year after spinal cord injury

CONCLUSIONS: The MRI indices were significant predictors of outdoor walking ability, but when motor scores were available, this was the strongest predictor and neither midsagittal tissue bridges nor hyperintensity length contributed additional value. MRI indices may be a quick and convenient supplement to physical examination when motor testing is unavailable.PMID:33798025 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2021.1907676
