Wyoming uses the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (current edition) to determine the percentage of permanent partial disability to the body as a whole, rather than a fixed schedule of weeks for individual body parts. Wyoming does not have a fixed scheduled-loss for back or neck injuries; impairment is rated using AMA Guides.
