Andrea, does the limitation on the one side interfere with daily functioning
(particularly with ADL's) or place the resident at risk for injury?  Are you
possibly looking at a 1-2 rather than a 2-1?

Subject: Coding ROM


Hi everyone, thanks for responding to my feeler question.
We are having a discussion concerning coding ROM at work. 
A person who has limited range of motion on one side and full loss on the
other side (shoulder), is coded as a 2,1? 
Is there a tool you use when coding ROM? It would really be helpful to us.
