If interested, call Dr. Perosino at (678) 451-8871 or write at mperosinodc@hotmail.com Information on Impairment Ratings: Prior to the AMA Guides 4th Edition, range of motion assessment served as the foundation for defining impairment. With the 4th, published in 1993, the Injury (Diagnosis-Related Estimates - DRE) model was introduced and served as the primary rating method. Most impairments were categorized on the basis of clinical findings resulting in a fixed impairment number for each category; surgery did not modify the original impairment. The 5th Edition, published in 2000, uses both the Diagnosis-Related Estimates (DRE) and the Range of Motion methods dependent on the condition. Categorization was based typically on findings at maximal medical improvement, definitions for the categories were revised, and four whole person permanent impairment values were provided for each category. The 6th Edition, released December 2007, uses a methodology based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and ratings are based primarily on a specific diagnosis, which results in assignment to an impairment class (IC), using grids designed for this purpose. The impairment value within a class is further refined by considering information related to functional status, physical examination findings, and the results of clinical testing. Range of motion is no longer used as a basis for defining impairment since current evidence does not support this as a reliable indicator of specific pathology or permanent functional status. The use of the "most recent Edition" will be required immediately by certain state jurisdictions, statute or code (AK, HI, KY, LA, MS, MT, NH, NM, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, TN, VT, WY) and will be required for Federal and Longshore & Harbor Workers' Act cases. The College on Forensic Sciences (CFS), a CCO and ACA affiliate, has added the AMA's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (6th edition) to the list of impairment rating products sold via its website. CFS offers these products to assist with their organizational objectives of providing, delivering and conducting educational and training opportunities for professionals seeking training in forensics, disability, impairment rating and federal programs leading to board or subspecialty certification.

Call 770 826-3883 DC is looking for a position or practice for sale in NYC: Reply to: NYDC1216@aol.com Dr. M's review of a new cervical range of motion station: Two weeks ago, I posted this product. I have been using it for a week and it is as advertised. A simple, patient guided cervical range of motion unit that takes little to no room and is attached to your computer by a USB cord. Patient places strap around skull and follows computer monitor's verbal and visual instructions while recording one to three complete cervical range of motions. The objective findings are recorded, easily reviewed with the patient and hard copies can be printed for insurance, attorney and patient records. The entire procedure takes very little time and would be invaluable for patient compliance and hard objective findings when necessary. I recommend you check their website: www.ty-q.com or call 770-880-7903 for information. I highly recommend this innovative diagnostic tool.
