SECTION X - NERVES AFFECTED: Severity Evaluation for Upper Extremity Nerves and Radicular Groups
Based on symptoms and findings from this exam, complete the following section to provide an estimation of the severity of the veteran's
peripheral neuropathy. This summary provides useful information for VA purposes.
NOTE: For VA purposes, the term “incomplete paralysis" indicates a degree of lost or impaired function substantially less than the
description of complete paralysis that is given with each nerve.
If the nerve is completely paralyzed, check the box for “complete paralysis.” If the nerve is not completely paralyzed, check the box for
“incomplete paralysis” and indicate severity. For VA purposes, when nerve impairment is wholly sensory, the evaluation should be mild,
or at most, moderate.
All normal
