Using weighted criteria ** for

secondary findings, doctor
should lean towards adjusting
unless no secondary findings
are present.

Using weighted criteria** for

secondary findings, doctor must
make a decision. Unless strong
subluxation showing of all criteria,
doctor should not adjust.

No adjustment rendered.

*Secondary findings are: fossa, leg checks, palpation, and symptomatology.

**Fossa has most weight (approximately 40%).
Leg check and palpation are second level weight (approximately 25% each).
Symptomatology has least weight (approximately 10%).
While the Tytron readings are first and foremost, the doctor should consider all information available.
