Total Motor Index Score (TMIS)- 100

Grading: (MMT)

Compute the total motor index score of an SCI patient whose muscles at L2 level and above are graded good, muscles at L3 and L4 are graded poor and remaining muscles are graded zero

72

to preserve tendonesis effect in C6, avoid:

wrist ext + finger ext

L2 above good (B), L3-L4 poor:

56

biceps, triceps, wrist extensors normal bilaterally, finger flexion & abduction fair bilaterally, all LE poor=

standard management for spasticity (slow, maintained and prolonged)

stretching
