Denied
The Board denied an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's left ankle condition, as the evidence did not show marked limited motion of the ankle even after repetitive testing.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating under DC 5271 as it did not show plantar flexion less than 10 degrees and dorsiflexion less than 5 degrees, even with repetitive use.
