physical findings can be used to validate or “objectify” subjective findings. Use of objective, or at least less subjective, findings in impairment rating should improve interrater reliability. Hence, while not disregarding subjective complaints and findings, evaluating physicians should lend greater weight to objective findings. References 1. May S , Littlewood C , Bishop A .

impairment ratings assigned to the most common spine-related conditions, the Sixth Edition grids are designed to permit more specific and accurate classification of conditions by diagnosis, to reflect the outcome of treatment rather than the method of treatment, and to provide the same rating methodology for single or multiple-level conditions, facilitating consistency in those ratings.

uses the now antiquated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for PTSD diagnosis, and most mental health professionals are now using the more liberal diagnostic criteria in DSM-V. If the diagnosis is administratively accepted, and the MMI and PPI questions are asked, there are some caveats. Chapter 14 in either edition of the AMA Guides is largely silent about how MMI and permanency are to be objectively established in mental disorders. Modern systematic reviews indicate cognitive behavioral therapy
full activity versus only 42% of the compensation patients Henn et al controlled for age, sex, comorbidities, smoking, marital status, education, duration of symptoms, work demands, expectations, and tear size. Despite the multiple controls, their results indicated that compensation was predictive of worse pain and other outcome measures.
