A scoping review reveals prognostic indicators for spinal cord injury outcomes, suggesting improved prediction methods are needed.
Initial severity, sensorimotor sparing, and age at injury are significant prognostic indicators post-SCI. Current prediction tools are effective primarily for ambulation outcomes but less reliable for moderate injuries. Future research should prioritize comprehensive models incorporating clinical, neurophysiological, and radiological predictors to enhance individualized prognostication, particularly in cases of incomplete SCI.
