Frankel Spinal Cord Injury Classification

Classify spinal cord injury severity using the Frankel scale (A-E). Grade A: complete loss of motor and sensory function below injury. Grade B: sensory preserved but no motor. Grade C: motor preserved but non-functional (grade below 3). Grade D: motor functional (grade 3 or above). Grade E: normal motor and sensory function.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Classify spinal cord injury severity using the Frankel scale (A-E). Grade A: complete loss of motor and sensory function below injury. Grade B: sensory preserved but no motor. Grade C: motor preserved but non-functional (grade below 3). Grade D: motor functional (grade 3 or above). Grade E: normal motor and sensory function

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Frankel scale — The frankel scale recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the frankel classification result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Frankel scale for the scenario you are assessing. Classify spinal cord injury severity using the Frankel scale (A-E). Grade A: complete loss of motor and sensory function below injury. Grade B: sensory preserved but no motor. Grade C: motor preserved but non-functional (grade below 3). Grade D: motor functional (grade 3 or above). Grade E: normal motor and sensory function. Use the frankel classification result to inform your calculation.
