Work capacity evaluation for occupational hand injuries.

According to Matheson the current definition of work capacity evaluation is that it is "a process of measuring and developing an individual's capacity to dependably sustain performance in response to broadly defined work demands." This article will give a broad overview of the work capacity evaluation as it relates to hand injuries. Included in the discussion will be the history and philosophy of work capacity evaluation, as well as the application of the evaluation process to hand-injured patients.

[Methods of evaluating work capacity rehabilitation of cancer patients].

A program for evaluating measures taken for rehabilitation of radically-treated patients with tumors of the lung, breast, ovary and endometrium is discussed. The study included patients on the cancer register for at least 6-60 months. It was based on the data on type of tumor process, treatment modality and characteristics of health status and working ability before and after therapy. The study used forms for computer evaluation of rehabilitation efficacy and encoder-type instructions for filling them.

[Work capacity evaluation in inorganic lead exposure].

When estimating the work ability of workers exposed to inorganic lead four zones should be differentiated: a zone of normal exposure (I), a zone of abnormal but acceptable exposure (II), a zone of abnormal but still acceptable exposure (III) and a zone of abnormal and unacceptable exposure (IV). In the zone of normal exposure specific work ability is preserved. In zones of abnormal but acceptable exposure specific work ability can, also, be preserved. However, in the zone of abnormal, unacceptable exposure specific work ability, temporarily or permanently, is lost. Combinations of three relevant laboratory tests are presented, which, while warning of the presence, i.e. the effect, of inorganic lead in the organism, directly dictate the estimation of specific work ability (blood lead, ALAD, EP, ZPP). Attention has been drawn to other contraindications, set by positive legislation, which also directly dictate the estimation of workers exposed to inorganic lead. It is emphasized that permanent disruption of relevant laboratory parameters (blood lead, ALAD, EP, ZPP) is a sufficient basis for recognizing occupational lead poisoning, within positive legislation.
