Detailed neurological and functional examination is fundamental for the evaluation of the development after spinal cord injury. European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury (EMSCI) has significantly contributed to standardization of processes of investigation. Their widening is going on in the Czech Republic in form of courses on the examination of a spinal cord injured patient organised by the Spinal Cord Unit Prague, University Hospital Motol. Electronic forms could help to simplify processing of obtained information, unify outputs and make the medical documentation better arranged.
