Secondary outcome measures
General Selected items of the International Spinal Cord
Injury Core Data Set [32] were collected (demographic
and iSCI-specific data of interest, Table 1), and the
motor score of the neurological examination according
to the ASIA International Standards [24] was evaluated
(upper extremity motor score [UEMS] in participants
with tetraplegia only, lower extremity motor score
[LEMS] in all participants). Furthermore, we applied the
SCIM to assess independence and evaluated several outcome
measures of walking and balance.
