Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Lieberman discusses the ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) exam, which is used to assess and classify spinal cord injuries. He begins by explaining the different levels of injury and the criteria for assigning a classification, such as complete or incomplete injury. Dr. Lieberman then goes through a series of case presentations to demonstrate how to determine the motor and sensory levels and classify the injury using the ASIA scale. He also discusses the concept of zone of partial preservation and different spinal cord syndromes. Throughout the video, Dr. Lieberman emphasizes the importance of regularly assessing and tracking changes in neurological function following a spinal cord injury. The video concludes with a Q&A session in which Dr. Lieberman answers questions about the timing and frequency of ASIA exams, as well as the potential for improvement in incomplete injuries. No credits or sources are mentioned in the video.
