;;A. Review of Medical Records:
;;
;;
;;
;;B. Medical History (Subjective Complaints):
;;
;; Comment on:
;; 1. If flare-ups exist, describe precipitating factors,
;; aggravating factors, alleviating factors, alleviating
;; medications, frequency, severity, duration, and whether the
;; flare-ups include pain, weakness, fatigue, or functional loss.
;;
;;
;; 2. Current treatment, response, and side effects.
;;
;;
;; 3. State whether condition has stabilized.
;;
;;
;; 4. Seizures - type, frequency.
;;
;;
;; 5. Headache, dizziness, etc.
;;
;;
;;C. Physical Examination (Objective Findings):
;;
;; Address each of the following and fully describe current findings:
;; 1. If a tumor is or was present, note location, type, and
;; whether or not it is malignant. If a malignancy is present
;; but is now cured or in remission, report the date of last
;; surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other treatment.
;;
;;
;; 2. Describe in detail the motor and sensory impairment of all
;; affected nerves.
;;
;;
;; 3. Describe in detail any functional impairment of the peripheral
;; and autonomic systems.
;;
;;TOF
;; 4. A DETAILED ASSESSMENT OF EACH AFFECTED JOINT IS REQUIRED.
;; a. Using a goniometer, measure the PASSIVE and ACTIVE range
;; of motion, including movement against gravity and against
;; strong resistance.
;;
;;
;; b. If the joint is painful on motion, state at what point in
;; the range of motion pain begins and ends.
;;
;;
;; c. State to what extent, if any, the range of motion or
;; function is ADDITIONALLY LIMITED by pain, fatigue, weakness,
;; or lack of endurance. If more than one of these is
;; present, state, if possible, which has the major
;; functional impact.
;;
;;
;; 5. Describe any psychiatric manifestations in detail - see
;; worksheets for mental disorders.
;;
;;
;; 6. Eye examination.
;;
;;
;; 7. State if the veteran has bladder or bowel functional impairment.
;; If present, state whether partial or total, intermittent or
;; constant and what measures are taken as a result of the impairment.
;;
;;
;; 8. State if the veteran is capable of managing his or her benefit
;; payments in his or her own best interest without restriction.
;; (A physical disability which prevents the veteran from attending
;; to financial matters in person is not a proper basis for a
;; finding of incompetency unless the veteran is, by reason of
;; that disability, incapable of directing someone else in
;; handling the individual's financial affairs.)
;;
;;
;; 9. If smell or taste is affected, also complete the appropriate
;; worksheet.
;;
;;
;;D. Diagnostic and Clinical Tests:
;;
;; 1. Skull X-rays to measure bony defect, if there was surgery;
;; spine X-rays if there was spinal cord surgery.
;; 2. Include results of all diagnostic and clinical tests conducted
;; in the examination report.
