A method for determining change in condition for soft tissue injury that utilizes a baseline test and a post-loss test. An individual, such as an employee, consents to having a baseline test performed on them. The results of the baseline test are not read/reviewed at the time of testing, but instead stored in a database along with information pertaining to the individual. When the individual later files a claim for compensation from an injury based on an injury reported, the post-loss test that is related to the baseline test is performed. The post-loss results are then compared with the baseline test results to determine the authenticity and extent of the claimed injury. The baseline test results are not read/reviewed until an injury is alleged, and then only the pertinent baseline test results are utilized, thereby insuring legal compliance.
