Abstract

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most common cause of spinal cord disability in adults. It is characterized by a series of complex funicular signs and symptoms. In spite of this, there is a lack of firm evidence regarding the surgical options and prognostic factors associated with its management. The modified Japanese Orthopedic Association Scale (mJOA) is an outcome measure to evaluate the neurological function of cervical myelopathy. Little is also known about the changes in myelopathic signs after decompressive surgery and to what extent changes in these signs are related to functional outcome.
