A prospective multicenter study was conducted within the National Model Spinal Cord Injury System program to examine neurological deficits and recovery patterns following spinal cord injury (SCI) in individuals with cervical spondylosis and without a spinal fracture. Nineteen patients were evaluated. Sixty-eight percent presented initially with motor incomplete lesions. Of those who presented with motor incomplete injuries at their initial examination, 69 percent had less deficit in the lower than in the upper extremities, indicative of a central cord syndrome. At follow-up, 12 subjects were unable to ambulate, four required assistance and three were able to ambulate independently. On the average, subjects doubled their initial Asia Motor Score (AMS) scores by one year following injury. Residual upper extremity weakness, however, limited the ability to ambulate. Recovery of motor strength in this group is comparable to that of individuals with incomplete tetraplegia in general but the proportion who regain ambulatory function is less.
