The Board denied the veteran's claim for a disability rating higher than 20 percent for both right and left knee disabilities. The decision was based on insufficient evidence showing significant limitation of extension or flexion in the knees.

The deciding factor: The totality of the evidence did not support finding that the Veteran's knee disabilities manifested with limitation of extension to 20 degrees or greater, including during flares or following repeated use over time.
