;; 14. Assistive devices
;;
;; a. Does the Veteran use any assistive device(s) as a normal mode of
;; locomotion, although occasional locomotion by other methods may be possible?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;;
;; If yes, identify assistive device(s) used (check all that apply and indicate
;; frequency):
;;
;; ___ Wheelchair Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;; ___ Brace(s) Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;; ___ Crutch(es) Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;; ___ Cane(s) Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;; ___ Walker Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;; ___ Other: _______________________________________________________________
;; Frequency of use: __ Occasional __ Regular __ Constant
;;
;; b. If the Veteran uses any assistive devices, specify the condition and
; identify the assistive device used for each condition: ______________________

;; 15. Remaining effective function of the extremities
;;
;; Due to the Veteran's ankle condition(s), is there functional impairment of
;; an extremity such that no effective function remains other than that which
;; would be equally well served by an amputation with prosthesis? (Functions
;; of the upper extremity include grasping, manipulation, etc., while
;; functions for the lower extremity include balance and propulsion, etc.)
;; ___ Yes, functioning is so diminished that amputation with prosthesis would
;; equally serve the Veteran.
;; ___ No
;;
;; If yes, indicate extremities for which this applies:
;; ___ Right lower ___ Left lower
;; For each checked extremity, identify the condition causing loss of
;; function, describe loss of effective function and provide specific
;; examples (brief summary): _______________________________________________
;;
;; 16. Diagnostic Testing
;;
;; The diagnosis of degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) or traumatic
;; arthritis must be confirmed by imaging studies. Once such arthritis has
;; been documented, no further imaging studies are required by VA, even if
;; arthritis has worsened.
;;
;; a. Have imaging studies of the ankle been performed and are the results
;; available?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, are there abnormal findings?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, indicate findings:
;; ___ Degenerative or traumatic arthritis
;; ankle: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
;; ___ Ankylosis
;; ankle: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
;; ___ Other. Describe: ____________________
;; ankle: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
;;
;; b. Are there any other significant diagnostic test findings and/or results?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, provide type of test or procedure, date and results (brief summary):
;; ____________________________________________________________________________
;;
;; 17. Functional impact
;;
;; Does the Veteran's ankle condition impact his or her ability to work?
;; ___ Yes ___ No
;; If yes, describe the impact of each of the Veteran's ankle conditions
;; providing one or more examples: ____________________________________________
