Using the 1997 Musculosckeletal Exam how many bullets would you count this as?

Motor Exam: Tone and bulk Intact. Strength is 5/5 throughout
Gait: Intact
Thoracic/Cervical: Range of motion preserved. Some paraspinal tenderness to palpation. No pain to percussion. No anatomic step-off
Lumbar: Range of motion limited in flexion at 50 degrees, extension at 15 degrees. Mild lumbosacral tenderness to papation. No pain to percussion. No anatomic step-off. No truncal shift.
Upper Extremities: No misalignment, no asymmetry - no evidence of instability/subluxation/laxity
Lower Extremities: No misalignment, no asymmetry - no evidence of instability/ subluxation/ laxity.

Thanks for any help.

97 Bullet points

It will go max as detailed level. It would have gone till Comp level if 9 organ system would have mentioned. In 1997 DGs, Comp level, 2 bullet points must should mention on each OS to reahc comp level.
