Validation of a clinical prediction rule for ambulation outcome after non-traumatic spinal cord injury.

The CPR correctly predicted those who did not walk at 6 and 12 months following NTSCI, but was less accurate in predicting those who would walk particularly those with an AIS C or D classification. This CPR may be useful to inform planning for future care in individuals with NTSCI, particularly for those who are not expected to walk. Further research with larger sample sizes is required to determine if the trends identified in this study are generalisable.
