Intergroup comparisons of the intensity scores of upper and lower extremities showed that high scores were significantly more prevalent in patients than in controls (p < 0.0001) in both observations.
Subjects with SCI had reduced American Spinal Injury Associations motor and sensory scores of upper and lower limb and were impaired on the ARAT (median score of 39 of max 57) (Table 1).

The postoperative motor JOA scores of the upper extremities (U/E) (preoperative, 2.0, versus postoperative, 2.6; p < 0.001) and lower extremities (L/E) (preoperative, 1.2, versus postoperative, 1.9; p < 0.001) were significantly high.
In case the examiner could not resist the muscle strength, Z-score was set at 2. We used the lowest Z-score of the upper or lower extremity as indicator of muscle strength, and we considered muscle weakness to be present when Z-score ≤−2.
The improvement of symptom scores for upper abdominal pain, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and excessive belching did not differ significantly between the groups at the last survey point.
