Table 1 Assessment of pelvic limb function by Olby score50.
Stage | Point | Neurological status |
|---|---|---|
1 | 0 | No pelvic limb movement and no deep pain sensation. |
1 | No pelvic limb movement with deep pain sensation. | |
2 | No pelvic limb movement but voluntary tail movement. | |
2 | 3 | Minimal non-weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb (movement of one joint). |
4 | Non-weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb with more than one joint involved less than 50% of the time. | |
5 | Non-weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb with more than one joint involved more than 50% of the time. | |
3 | 6 | Weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb less than 10% of the time. |
7 | Weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb 10–50% of the time. | |
8 | Weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb more than 50% of the time. | |
4 | 9 | Weight-bearing protraction 100% of time with reduced strength of pelvic limb. Mistake >90% of the rime. |
10 | Weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb 100% of time with reduced strength. Mistake 50% - 90% of the rime. | |
11 | Weight-bearing protraction of pelvic limb 100% of time with reduced strength. Mistake <50% of the rime. | |
5 | 12 | Ataxic pelvic limb gait with normal strength, but mistakes made >50% of time. |
13 | Ataxic pelvic limb gait with normal strength, but mistakes made <50% of time. | |
14 | Normal pelvic limb gait. |
