SECTION VI - FUNCTIONAL LOSS AND ADDITIONAL LIMITATION IN ROM
NOTE: The following section addresses reasons for functional loss, if present, and additional loss of ROM after repetitive-use testing, if present. The VA defines
functional loss as the inability to perform normal working movements of the body with normal excursion, strength, speed, coordination and/or endurance.
6A. DOES THE VETERAN HAVE ADDITIONAL LIMITATION IN ROM OF THE ELBOW AND FOREARM FOLLOWING REPETITIVE-USE TESTING?
YES
NO
6B. DOES THE VETERAN HAVE ANY FUNCTIONAL LOSS AND/OR FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT OF THE ELBOW AND FOREARM?
YES
NO
