Good morning everyone. My Case is currently at the PEB board awaiting an UNFIT memo...cant see it coming back fit. My Unfitting condition is Lumbosacral DDD with L Radiculopathy. I have a question about my ROM Results on my C&P. On the C&P there are 3 sections that have ratings for my back...
INITIAL ROM MEASUREMETS:
Forward Flexion (0-90): 0 to 50 degrees
Left Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 25 degrees
Extension (0-30): 0 to 25 degrees
Right Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 25 degrees
Right Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 25 degrees
Left Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 25 degrees
OBSERVED REPETITIVE USE:
Forward Flexion (0-90): 0 to 40 degrees
Left Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 20 degrees
Extension (0-30): 0 to 20 degrees
Right Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 20 degrees
Right Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 20 degrees
Left Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 20 degrees
FLARE UPS:
Forward Flexion (0-90): 0 to 30 degrees
Left Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 10 degrees
Extension (0-30): 0 to 10 degrees
Right Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 10 degrees
Right Lateral Flexion (0-30): 0 to 10 degrees
Left Lateral Rotation (0-30): 0 to 10 degrees
Like everyone else I am attempting to understand the results and how they relate to the VA Rating System. I just don't know which rating they will use.....Im assuming that it could possibly be the Observed Repetitive use results, that would make the most sense to me because the initial results are just that initial, and the flare ups don't happen all the time....any input would be greatly appreciated.
