Observe the special procedure set out in the introduction to Part III of this Chapter (see Part III – Introduction). However, Table 9.7 may not be used to assess lower extremity impairment arising as a result of nerve root compression, or other neurological sequelae of other spinal conditions. These should be assessed under:
      a)      tables dealing with spinal nerve root impairments and peripheral nerve injuries affecting the lower extremities:
        i)        Table 9.6.1: Spinal nerve root impairment affecting the lower extremity; or
        ii)      Table 9.6.2a: Sensory impairment due to peripheral nerve injuries affecting the lower extremities; or
        iii)     Table 9.6.2b: Motor impairment due to peripheral nerve injuries affecting the lower extremities; or
      b)      Table 9.15: Cervical spine – diagnosis-related estimates; or
      c)       Table 9.16: Thoracic spine – diagnosis-related estimates; or
