## What is UPPER LIMB IMPAIRMENT?

Upper Limb Impairment Calculator is a professional reference tool for calculating permanent impairment of the upper limb under the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th Edition (Chapter 16), with an optional overlay for the Queensland GEPI 2nd Edition.

Built for orthopaedic and hand surgeons, occupational physicians and medico-legal assessors, it follows the AMA §16.9 step-by-step workflow and shows its working at every stage.

METHODS COVERED
• Range of motion — shoulder, elbow, wrist, thumb and finger joints
• Peripheral nerve deficits (Tables 16-10a / 16-11a, combined per §16.5b)
• Digital nerve sensory loss and neuroma
• Amputation — digit and limb levels
• Loss of strength — grip, pinch and joint
• Other disorders — arthrodesis, resection, instability, tenosynovitis, carpal collapse
• Skin / scar impairment (Queensland GEPI 2 mode)

JURISDICTION MODES
• Queensland — AMA Guides 5th Edition with the GEPI 2nd Edition overrides
• Other states — AMA Guides 5th Edition
The selected basis is recorded on every report.

TRANSPARENT AND DETERMINISTIC
• Hand, upper-extremity and whole-person totals update live
• The full §16.9 working can be exported as a report
• The same inputs always produce the same result

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
All calculations run on your device. No account, no sign-in, and no data leaves your phone.

IMPORTANT
This app is a calculation aid intended for use by registered health practitioners. It does not diagnose, provide medical advice, or replace professional assessment. All values should be verified against the source tables, and the examining clinician is responsible for the final assessment.
