Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to ensure an adequate assessment of the Veteran's lumbar spine disability, including range of motion measurements in weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing positions.
The deciding factor: The previous examination did not include critical evaluation criteria required for rating purposes, necessitating a remand for correction of this pre-decisional duty to assist error.
