International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury
The premier North American organization in the field of Spinal Cord Injury care, education and research, ASIA provides unparalleled training excellence in the administration, scoring and interpretation of the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI).
Institution and/or Hospital ISNCSCI Training
When assessing persons with spinal cord injuries, the testing methods of staff, clinicians or researchers, may (or may not) be consistent within their own institutions & hospitals, and these approaches are subject to wide variability throughout the spinal cord injury community. Standardization in conducting, and subsequently interpreting, the ISNCSCI assessment is essential for proper diagnosis, documentation and comparative assessment in any setting.
Hospital and Institution on-site or virtual ISNCSCI training includes:
- InSTeP online modules
- Dissemination and training of the International Standards to the entire SCI community, including current and standardized material useful for both research and clinical practice
- A specialized ASIA-certified faculty for serving the unique needs of your Hospital and/or Institution
- Thoroughly developed and comprehensive training materials
- Standardization among all SCI Professionals, regardless of specialty or department
- Confidence that your SCI team has received accurate and systematic training in the ISNCSCI examinations and classification
- Follow-up or post-training support for first six months following training

Clinical Trial Training
When assessing spinal cord injured patients and potential research subjects, the methods of staff, clinicians and researchers may be consistent within their own institutions, but these approaches are subject to variables throughout the wider-ranging field of SCI. Standardization in interpreting, and subsequently conducting, the ISNCSCI assessment in clinical trials is vital to trial outcomes and efficacy measurements.
ASIA’s Clinical Trial Training Program provides on-site or virtual ISNCSCI training for investigative sites. Assessor training includes:
- InSTeP online modules
- Dissemination and training of the International Standards to the entire SCI community, including current and standardized material useful for both research and clinical practice
- A specialized ASIA-certified faculty for serving the unique needs of industry
- Thoroughly developed and comprehensive training materials
- Standardization among all assessors, regardless of specialty or department
- Confidence that your SCI clinical trial site has received accurate and systematic training in the ISNCSCI examinations and classification
- Follow-up or post-training support for first six months following training
