| Abstract: | Present methods of work capability evaluation are frequently subjective, disputable, and nonobjective. There is inadequate reconditioning especially in cases of older workmen where a return to previous employment under competitive conditions is expected. A "capability evaluation center" is suggested as a possible solution. It should be so organized as to preserve the patient's incentive to return to full production if possible, let him know his potential if less than it was before injury, and help him overcome any tendency that he might have to seek refuge in invalidism. |
