From the three-month assessment to the six-month assessment, the first patient has demonstrated continued improvement in motor function as assessed by the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam. The patient has regained partial function of knee extensors and remains classified as ASIA Impairment Scale C (AIS C) with a motor incomplete spinal cord injury.
