We understand how valuable your time is, and this data sheet has been designed to allow you to provide medical information in an efficient and organized way.

If you receive multiple data sheets, please disregard repetitive questions. Your medical specialty please: Note 1: This document will not have legal validity for Social Security disability determination purposes unless completed by a licensed medical doctor or osteopath. Note 2: This document only concerns joint dysfunction. Other impairments and limitations resulting from a combination of impairments should be considered separately. Note 3: Age, degree of general physical conditioning, sex, body habitus (i.e., natural body build, physique, constitution, size, and weight), insofar as they are unrelated to the patient s medical disorder and symptoms, should not be considered when assessing the functional severity of the impairment.
