The Orthopedic Test parameter in the Wellness Score is a generic test rating that you can use for any orthopedic test that reproduces pain or discomfort.  

This grading score also applies to the Nachlas, Kemps, Cervical Compression (Jackson Test) Orthopedic Test parameters already in the Wellness Score. The Ortho Test-[Custom] in the parameter list is there for you to use and apply to any orthopedic test used to provoke pain. Be sure to label the test used in your notes so that you can repeat the test later for comparison reports.  You can also use this data table to create and name your parameter: How do I create a new Parameter?

If the patient is unable to tolerate the positioning of the orthopedic test, they would be given a score of 10, which is an automatic fail.  If the patient is able to tolerate the test position, but not the test itself,  they would be given a score of 9, also an automatic fail.  A score of 0 is the best possible score, as the patient is able to perform the orthopedic test without any dysfunction or discomfort. When performing the orthopedic test, ask your patient to rate the pain or discomfort of the test on a scale of 0-10, 0=no pain or discomfort, 10=extreme pain.
