Abstract

The International Standards for Neurologic Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) are the most widely used classification system in spinal cord injury medicine. The purpose of the ISNCSCI is to ensure accurate and consistent communication among patients, clinicians, and researchers. Since its first publication in 1982, the ISNCSCI has continued to evolve with the latest updates and revisions published in 2015 and 2019. The updates were incorporated into the 2019 ISNCSCI worksheet and booklet, and the International Standards Training e-Learning Program. This article details the ISNCSCI update from 2015 and revision in 2019.
