CONTEXT: Following spinal cord injury (SCI), early spasms are associated with decreased functional recovery. It has also been hypothesized that early spasticity might sign underlying maladaptive neuroplasticity, which could translate in worse neurological outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: In this context, this paper aims to evaluate if early-onset spasms are also associated with neurological outcomes after SCI.
METHODS: A retrospective review of 196 cases from a prospective SCI database was conducted. The presence of early spasms during the acute hospitalization was assessed by a single physiatrist. The characteristics and long-term neurological outcomes of individuals with and without early spasms were first compared. Multivariate regression analyses were then performed to determine the relationship between early spasms and neurological outcomes.
RESULTS: 30.1% (N = 59) of patients presented early spasms. These patients had several distinguishing characteristics including higher odds of tetraplegia (vs. paraplegia) and more severe injuries. At the bivariate level, patients with early spasms had higher odds of improving at least 1 AIS grade between baseline and follow-up. However, this was not significant at the multivariate level.
CONCLUSIONS: Early spasms are not significantly associated with poorer neurological outcomes, contrasting with the unwritten consensus that early spasticity translates maladaptive neuroplasticity.
