Independent spinal cord atrophy measures correlate to motor and sensory deficits in individuals with spinal cord injury

Abstract: Study design: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical outcome. Objectives: The aim of this study was to present anatomically consistent and independent spinal cord atrophy measures based on standard MRI material and analyze their specific relations to sensory and motor outcome in individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Danish study on human SCI. Methods: We included 19 individuals with chronic incomplete SCI and 16 healthy controls. P… Show more

“…Importantly, clinically eloquent relationships between structural spinal and brain changes of the sensorimotor system have been demonstrated. Specifically, the amount of motor and sensory disability, as assessed by the international standards for the neurological classification of SPI protocol [32], was directly associated with the degree of spinal [27,33,34] and brain atrophy [29,35]. Moreover, a decrease in the left-right diameter of the cervical cord area correlated with the motor score and the anterior-posterior diameter with the sensory score [34], indicating tract-specific atrophy.…”

“…More generally, there is some evidence that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based measures are correlated with impairment. Cross-sectional area of spinal tracts measured using MRI correlates with motor and sensory scores 147 and some diffusion tensor imaging have also been found to be correlated with motor and sensory function. 148 As yet, however, no studies have described the relationship between walking function and measures obtained via imaging.…”
