;;A. Review of Medical Records:
;;
;;
;;
;;B. Present Medical History (Subjective Complaints):
;;
;; Comment on:
;; 1. Complaints of pain, weakness, stiffness, fatigability, lack of
;; endurance, etc.
;;
;;
;; 2. Treatment - type, dose, frequency, response, side effects.
;;
;;
;; 3. If there are periods of flare-up:
;; a. State their severity, frequency, and duration.
;;
;;
;; b. Name the precipitating and alleviating factors.
;;
;;
;; c. Estimate to what extent, if any, they result in additional
;; limitation of motion or functional impairment during the
;; flare-up.
;;
;;
;; 4. Describe whether crutches, brace, cane, etc., are needed.
;;
;;
;; 5. Describe details of any surgery or injury.
;;
;;
;; 6. Functional Assessment - Describe effects of the condition(s)
;; on the veteran's usual occupation and daily activities.
;;
;;
;;C. Physical Examination (Objective Findings):
;;
;; Address each of the following as appropriate to the condition
;; being examined and fully describe current findings:
;; 1. Using a goniometer, measure the PASSIVE and ACTIVE range of
;; motion, including movement against gravity and against strong
;; resistance. Provide range of motion in degrees.
;;
;;
;; 2. If the spine is painful on motion, state at what point in the
;; range of motion pain begins and ends.
;;
;;
;; 3. State to what extent (if any) and in which degrees (if possible)
;; the range of motion or spinal function is ADDITIONALLY LIMITED
;; by pain, fatigue, weakness, or lack of endurance following
;; repetitive use or during flare-ups. If more than one of these
;; is present, state, if possible, which has the major functional
;; impact.
;;
;;
;; 4. Describe objective evidence of painful motion, spasm, weakness,
;; tenderness, etc.
;;
;;
;; 5. Postural abnormalities, fixed deformity.
;;
;;
;; 6. Musculature of back.
;;
;;
;; 7. Neurological abnormalities - if present, see appropriate worksheet.
;;
;;
;;D. Normal Range of Motion:
;;
;; All joint Range of Motion measurements must be made using a
;; GONIOMETER. Show each measured range of motion separately rather
;; than as a continuum.
;;
;;
;;E. Diagnostic and Clinical Tests:
;;
;; Obtain the following and comment on them, as indicated:
;; 1. X-rays, MRI, as indicated.
;; 2. Include results of all diagnostic and clinical tests conducted
;; in the examination report.
