We will not use findings on imaging or other diagnostic tests (see 1.00C3) as a substitute for findings on physical examination.Ī. We will not accept a report of your statements about your symptoms and limitations in place of the medical source's report of objective clinical findings. In the report(s) of your physical examination, we require a medical source's detailed description of the orthopedic, neurologic, or other objective clinical findings appropriate to your specific musculoskeletal disorder from his or her direct observations during your physical examination. For our rules on evidence about your symptoms, see §§ 404.1529 and 416.929 of this chapter.Ģ. We will determine the extent and kinds of evidence we need from medical and nonmedical sources based on the individual facts about your disorder. We also need evidence from both medical and nonmedical sources, who can describe how you function, to assess the severity and duration of your musculoskeletal disorder. We need objective medical evidence from an acceptable medical source to establish that you have a medically determinable musculoskeletal disorder. What evidence do we need to evaluate your musculoskeletal disorder?ġ. We evaluate burns that do not require continuing surgical management under the listings in 8.00.Ĭ.

We evaluate a disorder or injury of the skeletal spine that results in damage to, and neurological dysfunction of, the spinal cord and its associated nerves (for example, paraplegia or quadriplegia) under the listings in 11.00.Ģ. Which related disorders do we evaluate under other listings?ġ. If a curvature of the skeletal spine is under continuing surgical management (see 1.00O1), we will evaluate it under 1.21 using our rules for determining medical equivalence. We evaluate curvatures of the skeletal spine that affect musculoskeletal functioning under 1.15.

The injuries or abnormalities may affect any part of the body, including the face and skull.ģ. We evaluate soft tissue injuries (including burns) or abnormalities that are under continuing surgical management (see 1.00O1). These disorders may involve the bones or major joints or the tendons, ligaments, muscles, or other soft tissues.Ģ. Musculoskeletal disorders may be congenital or acquired, and may include deformities, amputations, or other abnormalities.

We refer to the skeletal spine in some musculoskeletal listings to differentiate it from the neurological spine (see 1.00B1). The skeletal spine refers to the bony structures, ligaments, and discs making up the spine. We use the term “skeletal” when we are referring to the structure of the bony skeleton. We evaluate disorders of the skeletal spine (vertebral column) or of the upper or lower extremities that affect musculoskeletal functioning under these listings.

Which musculoskeletal disorders do we evaluate under these listings?ġ.
