The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for both the lumbosacral strain and right knee strain, as the evidence did not support a higher rating under applicable criteria.

The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record did not show forward flexion greater than 30 degrees or extension limited to 15 degrees, nor any other symptoms that would warrant a higher rating for either condition.
