NOTES

     Chapter 5
     Neurological Impairment

    INTRODUCTION

    Loss of function tables (Tables 5.1-5.5)

    Neurological impairment is measured by reference to multiple functions, many of which are rated using tables in other chapters. The additional functions considered in this chapter are:

    + cognitive function (Table 5.1);
+ communication (Tables 5.2 and 5.3); and
+ sensory function (Table 5.4).

    Ratings from one functional loss table are to be combined with ratings from any other table for a different loss of function from the same condition.  Ratings from functional loss tables are not to be combined with ratings from Other Impairment tables for the same condition.

    Other Impairment table (Table 5.6)

    Table 5.6 lists specific impairment ratings for a variety of neurological conditions which are based on prognosis and, in some cases, pain. When ratings for the same condition can be made from Table 5.6 and a functional loss table, the higher rating is to be chosen.

Calculation of the impairment rating for an accepted neurological condition

 Follow the steps below to determine the impairment rating for neurological conditions:

 (Each step is elaborated in the following pages.)

 STEP Determine an impairment rating for functional loss Page
   1 from the accepted neurological condition, by 104
          applying Tables 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5, as
          applicable.

 STEP Determine an impairment rating for functional loss Page
   2 from the accepted neurological condition, by 113
          applying other applicable chapters of this Guide.

 STEP Determine a rating for Other Impairment from the Page
  3 accepted neurological condition, by applying Table 113
          5.6 as applicable.
