ASIA, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA)'s International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI); NLI, ASIA Neurological Level of Injury; AIS, ASIA Impairment Score; SCS, Social Connectedness Scale (SCS); SCIM, Spinal Cord Independence Measure.

The AIS has five classification levels, ranging from complete loss of neural function in the affected area to completely normal: (A) the impairment is complete and there is no motor or sensory function left below the level of injury. (B) The impairment is incomplete and sensory function (but not motor function) is preserved below the neurologic level while some sensation is preserved in the sacral segments. (C) The impairment is incomplete and motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, but more than half of the key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade <3/5. (D) The impairment is incomplete and motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, and at least half of the key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade of 3/5 or more. (E) The patient's functions are normal and all motor and sensory functions are preserved.
