Insights
- The INS exam focuses on sensory and motor testing to determine spinal cord injury severity and classification using the ASIA scoring system, including specific instructions for assessing sensation and muscle strength.
- Sensory testing involves comparing sensation to the face and testing 28 dermatomes on both sides, with scoring ranging from 0 to 2 for normal sensation and guidelines for handling unavailable points or non-spinal cord injury conditions.
- Motor testing assesses muscle strength from 0 to 5, with detailed instructions for evaluating specific muscle groups in the upper and lower extremities, emphasizing the importance of accurate testing and distinguishing between different grades of muscle contraction.
