Hey guys,

I am having doubts on how to properly score on the neurological deficits portion of the waterlow. It gives a range of 4 to 6 for Diabetes, CVA, MS, Motor/Sensory paraphlegia. My question is: What category does a patient must have so the score will be 4 or 5 or 6?

If anybody have an answer, please help me. I am currently updating our Waterlow Risk Assessment Tool in our computerized system and the computer will not read the data and automatically score the risk level because of this portion.

Thank you.

Leonora
