Spinal Ranges of Motion

(1)

For the purpose of determining impairment due to loss of spinal range of motion, sections (2) through (12) of this rule apply when the physician uses an inclinometer to measure impairment.

(2)

The following ratings are for loss of flexion in the cervical region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(3)

The following ratings are for loss of extension in the cervical region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(4)

The following ratings are for loss of right or left lateral flexion in the cervical region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(5)

The following ratings are for loss of right or left rotation in the cervical region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(6)

The following ratings are for loss of flexion in the thoracic region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(7)

The following ratings are for loss of right or left rotation in the thoracic region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(8)

The following ratings are for loss of flexion in the lumbosacral region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(9)

The following ratings are for loss of extension in the lumbosacral region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(10)

The following ratings are for loss of right or left lateral flexion of the lumbosacral region: [Ratings not included. See ED. NOTE.]

(11)

For a total impairment value due to loss of motion, as measured by inclinometer, in any of the cervical, thoracic or lumbosacral regions, add (do not combine) values for loss of motion for each region.

(12)

In order to rate range of motion loss and surgery in one region, combine (do not add) the total range of motion loss in that region with the appropriate total surgical impairment value of the corresponding region. Combine the value from each region to find the total impairment of the spine.
