Impairment Ratings, AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th edition

Part 1 - Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition. Discusses adjustments (1-3%) for effects of treatment or lack of treatment. Discusses changes in impairment from prior ratings using other editions. Recommends specific elements to be included in all impairment rating reports. The use of DRE and ROM methods (models in the fourth edition) has been modified. Applications are described in greater detail. Impairment is only rated when maximum medical improvement (MMI) has been reached. DRE method encompasses a range (1-3%). Spinal cord injury is rated within the nervous system chapter using a functional approach. More specifically defined objective findings replace the ‘differentiators'. Alterations of motion segment integrity have been redefined. Excludes work from activities of daily living (ADL) and from the impairment percentages. Pain may be rated if there is an underlying organic cause and permits an increased rating up to 3%.
