Average recovery in the SCIM self-care subscore as a function of the number of motor levels recovered over the first year (~1 to 48 weeks) after cervical (C4–C7) sensorimotor complete (AIS-A) SCI (n=66). There is no statistical significance in the SCIM self-care subscore when no (0) or 1 motor level is recovered, but there is a statistically significant difference in the SCIM self-care subscore between recovery of 0 and 2, as well as 1 or 2 motor levels (P < .02). This significant increase in SCIM self-care subscore when 2 motor levels are recovered is likely to reflect a clinically meaningful benefit to people living with cervical sensorimotor complete SCI (modified from Kramer et al9).
