Yeah....pretty much is what it is. They are from the 5th Ed. of the AMA Guidelines to Permanent Imprairement. Instability is also rated by excessive horizontal motion measured off of flexion, extension and neutral lateral films. The guides originate from original work done by authors Augustus White, MD and Manomar Panjabi, PhD on clinical instability in the 80's.
