I need someone keen on range of motion ratings. I'm updating my back issues with physical therapy findings. VA sees records dated 4 years ago, but things have changed.
I've had recent physical therapy. The files are below. I've got to be more than 10% now, but when I look at the CCK infographic on back pain issues, and range of motion (https://cck-law.com/infographic/va-ratings-for-back-pain-infographic/) it has me swimming on how to interpret my own physical therapist's observations.
I have service-connected underlying conditions and according to the SOC I just received, they're relying on range of motion from years ago (which. according to them, has me at 10%).
The physical therapist has notes sprinkled throughout the files. To me it looks like 20% at least. Anyone have an opinion otherwise? I'm about to file supplemental claims in about 30 days.

First, when you see your doc or theropist, they don't use a tool for measuring you motion, they do their own thing. They use their own language to gauge your improvement, or lack there of, to compare

@HamsliceI have had VA physical therapy and some used the goinometer to measure range of motion, while others did not. My non-VA physical therapists always used a goinometer and made very careful note

@Rivet62I remember when the Gadsden CBOC opened around 1996. Needed an x-ray and had to drive all the way to Birmingham simply because they didn't have a machine there at the time. The CBOC records ha
