Gradations of Disability / Return Gradations of Disability / Return to Work conceptsto Work concepts
1. Return to previous work without limitations
2. Return to previous work with modifications
3. Graduated return to work– Modified by duration, intensity– Example:
• 3 half days alternate• 5 half days• 3 full two half . . . etc.
4. New job, same employer
5. New job, new employer
![Page 19: Disability Management - an overview - Dr. Jill Calder Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation February 8, 2015](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110103/56649e5c5503460f94b54d0d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gradations of Disability Gradations of Disability
1. “temporarily partially disabled”
2. “temporarily totally disabled”
3. “permanently partially disabled”
4. “permanently totally disabled”– “from all gainful employment”
“disabled” = “restricted from required activity”

Disability by payer systemDisability by payer system
• Canada Disability Pension (CDP)– Permanent– Total– Any job
• Persons with Disabilities of BC (PWD BC)– Prolonged– Total– Re-trainable / partial work supplemental to $800.00/mo.
• WorkSafe BC– Gradations to claim and programmatic interventions– Permanent from prior job– Retraining concepts– Pension based on “percentage total body disability”

Maximal Medical Improvement =Maximal Medical Improvement =
• Reached when further formal medical input, diagnostic testing or treatment, is no longer expected to have a favourable effect on patient outcome
• Does not mean the patient’s symptoms have completely resolved
• State whether or not patient’s condition is likely to be chronic or permanent
• Most payers are justifiably searching for “Medical Closure” – be clear.

Handicap / Handicap / Participation Participation RestrictionRestriction
• A patient may be medically able to seek alternate employment, but return to work may be problematic due to societal factors
• Employer won’t rehire until patient is “100%”
• Patient’s age is often a barrier
• Language – especially ESL
• Rural / remote communities, lack of employers
• Small employer unable to accommodate “light” job

Role of rest, exercise, and spiritRole of rest, exercise, and spirit
• Rest– very specific to injury tissue and recovery for that lesion– Targeted “rest” of the lesion only
• Assistive devices, braces• Ambulatory aides
– Walkers . . . Crutches . . . Canes . . .
• Restorative exercise– Not just any exercise, specific to the lesion and its domino
• Spirit– Anxiety and depression assess and treat– Resources

The Role of the The Role of the Family Practitioner?Family Practitioner?
• In a key position to prevent falls
• Assessment of physical function:– Basic level
• Rises from chair without using arms– TUG “time to up and go”
• Step length at least twice foot length• Walks without assistive device
– Timed walk (30 m < 30 sec)– High Level
• Tandem walks at least four to five steps• Descends stairs step-over-step
• Categories– Frail: fails basic level– Transitional: passes basic level, fails high level– Vigorous: passes high level

MedicationsMedications
• Patients taking benzodiazepines are 70% more likely to fall than those not taking these medications (Passaro et al., 2000)
• Medication reviews were associated with a significant reduction in falls in a psychiatric hospital (Murdock et al., 1998)
• Psychotropic drug withdrawal has been associated with a reduction in falls in other settings but compliance is problematic
• For patients with a diagnosis of osteoporosis, bisphosphonates have been shown to reduce fracture rates
![Page 37: Disability Management - an overview - Dr. Jill Calder Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation February 8, 2015](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110103/56649e5c5503460f94b54d0d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
NutritionNutrition
• Poor nutrition is associated with weak muscles
and low bone density, putting older people at
greater risk of falling and sustaining a fracture
• Studies show that approximately 16% of older
people admitted to hospital are severely
malnourished – many with Vitamin D deficiency
• Vitamin D and calcium supplementation have
been shown to reduce fractures in residential
settings and should be considered in hospital
settings
