The Veteran's right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome has resulted in symptoms such as painful motion, but not to a degree warranting an increased rating prior to February 18, 2011. Since then, the condition has resulted in some functional impairment, but not enough for a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome did not result in any compensable limitation of motion or other disabling conditions that would warrant an increased rating prior to February 18, 2011. Since then, the condition has resulted in some functional impairment but not enough for a higher rating.
