ASIA a (sensory and motor complete) is not different than ASIA B (sensory incomplete, motor complete) in gunshot related spinal cord injury.

Background ContextWe receive a large number of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients due to penetrating gunshot wounds (GSW) at our national rehabilitation center. Though many patients are labeled American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) B sensory incomplete due to sensory sparing, especially deep anal pressure, with purported prognostic value, we have not observed a clinical difference from ASIA A completes. We hypothesized that sensory sparing, if meaningful, should reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers.
