Transverse Myelitis Disability Score

Assess disability in acute transverse myelitis using motor, sensory, and bladder/bowel function across levels to predict recovery trajectory and differentiate complete from partial TM.

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

Assess disability in acute transverse myelitis using motor, sensory, and bladder/bowel function across levels to predict recovery trajectory and differentiate complete from partial TM

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Motor — The motor recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Sensory — The sensory recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Bladder/bowel function across levels — The bladder/bowel function across levels recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the tm disability score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the motor, sensory, bladder/bowel function across levels for the scenario you are assessing. Assess disability in acute transverse myelitis using motor, sensory, and bladder/bowel function across levels to predict recovery trajectory and differentiate complete from partial TM. Use the tm disability score result to inform your calculation.
