Neurology Resources

The ISNCSCI is an examination used to determine the motor and sensory impairment and severity of an SCI developed by ASIA. It gives clinicians and patients a common language to talk about spinal cord injuries. It is also a powerful research tool to measure the effectiveness of treatment techniques and protocols.

We offer ISNCSCI education to clinicians in a variety of ways, including:

  • Supporting access to the ASIA’s online e-learning program (INSTeP with certificate) – access is available for all clinicians/researchers/trainees affiliated with RHSCIR
  • Providing hands-on clinical training
  • Providing the ISNCSCI Algorithm
