SECTION III - RANGE OF MOTION (ROM) AND FUNCTIONAL LIMITATION

Sep 2, 2026

Upload by Tawan

This document section outlines the assessment of Range of Motion (ROM) and functional limitations. It includes a form to document factors affecting functional loss, such as pain, fatigability, weakness, lack of endurance, and incoordination. The form also requires estimation of range of motion in degrees for various movements (forward flexion, extension, right lateral flexion, left lateral flexion, right lateral rotation, left lateral rotation) based on veteran statements or medical evidence. A detailed section on Active Range of Motion (ROM) is provided, allowing the examiner to record specific degree measurements for each movement. It also prompts for the identification of any resulting functional limitations and their attribution to specific factors like pain, weakness, etc. The document includes checkboxes for common conditions affecting ROM and space to describe any observed limitations and their impact on daily activities. Two images of traffic accidents, one involving a bus and another a car, are also included but their direct relevance to the ROM assessment form is not explicitly stated within the provided text.

FAQs

What factors can affect functional loss in range of motion assessments?

Factors that can affect functional loss include pain, fatigability, weakness, lack of endurance, and incoordination.

What information is required for estimated range of motion measurements?

Estimated range of motion measurements should be based on relevant sources including the veteran's statement and examination, case-specific evidence, and medical expertise.

How is Active Range of Motion (ROM) recorded in this form?

Active Range of Motion is recorded by performing the active range of motion and providing the specific degree values for movements such as forward flexion, extension, and lateral rotations.
