Abstract
This case report documents the benefits of objective testing to allow a resolution of disability claims for a worker who has not been comple tely honest with the system. Only specific testing focused at both fun ction and perception can accomplish appropriate adjudication of such c laims. Objective medical findings remain the goal of all clinicians at tempting to treat persistent soft tissue injuries.
