The Objective Injury Model (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Motor vehicle injury cases are often won or lost on the strength of the clinical record. When that record contains only subjective complaints and a general soft-tissue diagnosis, the defense has room to minimize, delay, and discount the claim. When the record includes objective, instrumented clinical findings supported by normative comparisons, the discussion changes.The Objective Injury Model is a systematic clinical documentation framework developed through more than twenty years of personal injury chiropractic practice. Written specifically for plaintiff personal injury attorneys handling motor vehicle accident cases, this book explains the objective testing technologies that identify measurable injury findings even when standard imaging appears normal.Technologies covered include computerized oculomotor screening for concussion and post-concussive syndrome documentation, force-plate balance testing for vestibular dysfunction and cervicogenic balance impairment, stress radiography with computerized motion analysis for cervical ligamentous instability and AMA Guides impairment rating, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound for soft tissue pathology documentation, and computerized neurocognitive screening for post-concussive cognitive impairment.This book provides plaintiff attorneys with a clinical foundation for evaluating the medical documentation they receive, identifying documentation gaps before they become case vulnerabilities, and building provider relationships that consistently produce well-documented injury evidence that withstands defense scrutiny.Dr. Mark Mulak, DC, DACBSP(R), DACRB, RMSK(R), ICSC, is the founder of Cityside Chiropractic in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island, and has practiced exclusively in the personal injury and motor vehicle accident setting for more than twenty years.
