AMA Guides

The AMA Guides, developed by the American Medical Association, provide standardized methods for assessing and measuring physical impairments resulting from injuries or disabilities. They help medical professionals quantify the degree of a person's functional loss or impairment based on specific clinical evaluations. This standardized assessment supports fair and consistent compensation, treatment planning, and legal considerations. Essentially, the Guides serve as a recognized tool to translate medical findings into impairments that can be objectively evaluated, ensuring clarity and consistency in assessing a person’s physical limitations.
