Default Re: 13 diagnoses that fall into the 75% rule??
I'm new on this board and I saw your question. I have looked all over the web to find specifics. You would think someone would post these where we could tell exactly who meets criteria:
1. stroke
2. brain dysfunction- traumatic and nontraumatic (brain injury)
3. spinal cord dysfunction- traumatic and nontraumatic (spinal cord injury)
4. neurological conditions- (MS, motor neuron dz, polyneuropathy, muscular dystrophy, parkinsons)
5. amputation
6. active polyarticular RA, psoriatic arthritis, and seronegative arthritis
7. major multiple trauma
8. systemic vasculidities with joint inflammation
9 OA or DJD- must be in 2 or more wt bearing joints (elbow shoulder hips)
10. Joint replacement plus BMI>50, >85 yr, or bilateral replacement
11. burns
12. congenital deformity
13. femur fracture- i think it has to be the head, not shaft of proximal end

hope this helps
