Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded for a new examination to address the Veteran's knee conditions, including flare-ups and active/passive motion testing.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to properly address flare-ups and test both active and passive motion in weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing positions.
