;; condition?
;; ___Yes ___ No
;;
;; If yes, provide only diagnoses that pertain to shoulder and/or arm
;; conditions:

;;
;; If there are additional diagnoses that pertain to shoulder and/or arm
;; conditions, list using above format: _______________________________________
;;
;; 2. Medical history
;;
;; a. Describe the history (including onset and course) of the Veteran's
;; shoulder and/or arm condition (brief summary): _____________________________

;; 4. Initial range of motion (ROM) measurements
;;
;; Measure ROM with a goniometer, rounding each measurement to the nearest

;; exams. The VA has determined that 3 repetitions of ROM (at a minimum) can
;; serve as a representative test of the effect of repetitive use. After the
;; initial measurement, reassess ROM after 3 repetitions. Report post-test
;; measurements in section 5.

+218 ;; 9. Ankylosis
+219 ;;
+220 ;; Does the Veteran have ankylosis of the glenohumeral articulation (shoulder

+230 ;;
+231 ;; 10. Specific tests for rotator cuff conditions
+232 ;;
+233 ;; a. Hawkins' Impingement Test (Forward flex the arm to 90 degrees with the
+234 ;; elbow bent to 90 degrees. Internally rotate arm. Pain on internal rotation
+235 ;; indicates a positive test; may signify rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear.)
+236 ;; ___ Positive ___ Negative ___ Unable to perform ___ N/A
+237 ;; If positive, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+238 ;;^TOF^
+239 ;; b. Empty-can test (Abduct arm to 90 degrees and forward flex 30 degrees.
+240 ;; Patient turns thumbs down and resists downward force applied by the
+241 ;; examiner. Weakness indicates a positive test; may indicate rotator cuff
+242 ;; pathology, including supraspinatus tendinopathy or tear.)
+243 ;; ___ Positive ___ Negative ___ Unable to perform ___ N/A
+244 ;; If positive, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+245 ;;
+246 ;; c. External rotation/Infraspinatus strength test (Patient holds arm at side
+247 ;; with elbow flexed 90 degrees. Patient externally rotates against resistance.
+248 ;; Weakness indicates a positive test; may be associated with infraspinatus
+249 ;; tendinopathy or tear.)
+250 ;; ___ Positive ___ Negative ___ Unable to perform ___ N/A
+251 ;; If positive, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+252 ;;
+253 ;; d. Lift-off subscapularis test (Patient internally rotates arm behind lower
+254 ;; back, pushes against examiner's hand. Weakness indicates a positive test;
+255 ;; may indicate subscapularis tendinopathy or tear.)
+256 ;; ___ Positive ___ Negative ___ Unable to perform ___ N/A
+257 ;; If positive, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+258 ;;
+259 ;; 11. History and specific tests for instability/dislocation/labral pathology
+260 ;;
+261 ;; a. Is there a history of mechanical symptoms (clicking, catching, etc.)?
+262 ;; ___ Yes ___ No
+263 ;; If yes, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+264 ;;
+265 ;; b. Is there a history of recurrent dislocation (subluxation) of the
+266 ;; glenohumeral (scapulohumeral) joint?
+267 ;; ___ Yes ___ No
+268 ;; If yes, indicate frequency, severity and side affected (check all that
+269 ;; apply):
+270 ;; ___ Infrequent episodes ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+271 ;; ___ Frequent episodes ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+272 ;; ___ Guarding of movement only at shoulder level
+273 ;; ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+274 ;; ___ Guarding of all arm movements ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
+275 ;;
+276 ;; c. Crank apprehension and relocation test (With patient supine, abduct
+277 ;; patient's arm to 90 degrees and flex elbow 90 degrees. Pain and sense of
+278 ;; instability with further external rotation may indicate shoulder
+279 ;; instability.)
+280 ;; ___ Positive ___ Negative ___ Unable to perform ___ N/A
+281 ;; If positive, side affected: ___ Right ___ Left ___ Both
