“[Doctors] do the best we can, we try to show through a range of functions – a limited movement – why is [the movement] limited? Because it hurts.” The difficulty lies in proving that it hurts, other than just having to take a person’s word for it, said Armstrong. “What we’d like to be able to see is some evidence of [pain], some measurable evidence in a form of imaging or a data collection system Armstrong said, that is where Jocelyn’s System comes in to play”
