  • Title: Spinal cord potentials in traumatic paraplegia and quadriplegia.
    Author: Sedgwick EM, el-Negamy E, Frankel H.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1980 Sep; 43(9):823-30. PubMed ID: 7420105.
    Abstract:
    Cortical, cervical and lumbar somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded following median and tibial nerve stimulation in patients with traumatic paraplegia and quadriplegia. The isolated cord was able to produce normal potentials even during spinal shock if the vertical extent of the lesion did not involve the generator mechanisms. The cervical potentials showed subtle changes in paraplegia at Th5 levels and below. In high cervical lesions the early cervical potentials may still be present but the later potentials were absent or, in partial lesions, delayed.
