The Lie Detector Test for Soft Tissue Injury

Transcription

1 The Lie Detector Test for Soft Tissue Injury E L P M A S DynaROM Wireless Muscle Guarding Evaluation n Combats negative IME reports n Proven track record in courts n Helps establish quality of case from the start n Demonstrates soft tissue injury where all other methods fail n Recognized by the AMA

2 Developed and defended by the expert witness with an unparalleled success rate in court. David Marcarian, MA NASA-Trained semg Expert & Inventor of MyoVision David Marcarian, M.A. founded Precision Biometrics, Inc. in 1989 after winning a prestigious $450K National Institutes of Health Grant. The purpose of this grant was to develop objective, evidence-based physiological tools to determine presence or absence of soft tissue injury, physiological health and rehabilitation. This patented, wireless technology helps ensure that doctors, not insurers, determine treatment protocol. Proven in both the research world and the courts, this indisputable data reduces the workload on both doctors and attorneys. In addition, he backs up the claims with expert witness testimony which has yet to be challenged.

3 Is quantifying soft tissue injury important to your case? In our data driven society, data wins over opinion 99% of the time. DynaROM revolutionizes the entire process by keeping adjusters, doctors and on occasion juries, focused on the quality of data not the credibility of the high-paid IME s opinion. Insurers have seen the impact on juries, increasing the probability they settle cases in a manner best for the patient. With DynaROM: n Incur minimal costs; gain network of certified doctors throughout the US. n Admissibility has been established n Focus adjusters and juries on quality of data vs. credibility of expert. MyoVision has lead to cases settling faster and for significantly greater amounts. Insurers know the power of this test and settle to avoid litigation. It is as well accepted as MRI in the courtroom. -Attorney BC, Spokane, WA P M E L Why the negative response to surface EMG? It s a case of mistaken identity. Capitalize on the confusion and see cases settle fast. A S Insurers hope you don t know that there are two different tools with similar names: Paraspinal Scanning Static Surface EMG and DynaROM Motion Surface EMG. The knife vs. gun analogy applies. Static semg is a screening tool for showing muscle tension in the neutral posture. DynaROM Motion semg, a functional test measures muscle guarding simultaneously with range of motion as the patient moves. By moving the patient, we effectively elicit measurable pain responses and guarding when soft tissue injury is present. DynaROM Motion semg Paraspinal Scanning Static semg

4 In the modern courtroom, data wins over opinion 99% of the time. Backed by over 8000 published research studies and an impeccable record of court victories. A recent review found that adding the measurement of muscle guarding to ROM significantly increases the sensitivity and specificity of both tests. Impressive color graphics demonstrate to even the layperson the underlying mechanism of pain. The device utilizes court-proven, research-proven, objective physiological data to ensure proper care for the truly injured, while helping redirect those who are not. DATA OPINION The David vs. Goliath Legal Challenge: Case # RX Merritt vs. Department of Health Defended by the State of Florida, 300 insurers and 75 attorneys. SAMPLE As the sole expert to testify, David Marcarian was up against nine experts including an MD/Ph.D. The judge concluded with regards to DynaROM Evaluations: semg has achieved a level of medical acceptance as a valuable diagnostic tool for injuries of the spine and upper and lower back. Additionally, the technology having its own CPT code (96002, 96004) established it as a valid tool per the AMA CPT Code Book. Recognized by the experts, including John J. Gerhardt, M.D. Its integrated use of semg and true wireless dual ROM is brilliant. Surface EMG effectively augments ROM by assessing effort. John J. Gerhardt, M.D., Author of The AMA s Practical Guide to Range of Motion Assessment n Fellow of American Academy of Disability Evaluating Physicians n Fellow of American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation n Primary Author of the book The Practical Guide to Range of Motion Assessment published by the AMA. n Clinical Associate Professor in Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Emeritus, Oregon Health Sciences University

5 You know they re in pain. MRI and ROM fail to prove it. This is where MyoVision s DynaROM hits the ball over the fence for you and your client. Traditional Endpoint ROM vs. DynaROM: Approximately percent of patients with normal range of motion have pain and muscle guarding. Prove muscle guarding and watch cases settle fast. PATIENT A: NORMAL Endpoint ROM PATIENT A: ABNORMAL Measured with Patented MyoVision DynaROM semg Supports Insurer s Position Simultaneous Graphed ROM + Dynamic semg Although ROM is Normal, Significant Muscle Guarding Proves STI Worth 5-8% Impairment Normal ROM, Without Muscle Guarding E L P M Muscle Guarding: Left Lumbar (blue) Right Lumbar (red) 52 IDEAL EXAM: A S ROM Graphed Over Time. Max Angle Same as Endpoint ROM 52 No one believed I was in pain. I now have the support of family, friends and the full support of my attorney. Thank you MyoVision. Patient V.T.
