Criteria: Table 15-23 Entrapment / Compression Neuropathy Impairment (449)
Accurately define diagnosis, and assess history, physical examination findings, and clinical studies, as explained in Section 15-1 (385-386) and 15.4f (432-450). Criteria for electrodiagnostic studies are provided in Appendix 15-B (487-490) and must be met, both to define diagnosis and grade severity. Ratings are only provided if entrapment is electrodiagnostically confirmed. Average factors of test findings, history and physical findings to define Grade Modifier. Once Grade Modifier is defined use QuickDASH score to assign specific impairment. Impairment values are converted from UEI to WPI using Table 15-11 (420).
