title: [On the problem of tolerance tests as final measure of medical rehabilitation (author's transl)].
abstract: Work load evolvers from objectively describable and measurable tasks, which can be adjusted in intensity or duration. These tasks must be performed by different people; showing identical loads, as a rule, produce different effects on different people. This fact, i.e. different persons - different effects with identical loads, is, in ergonomics, operationally called strain (Laurig, W. 1975). Hence, strain is not only the consequence of work load, but also dependent upon the differences inherent in persons under the same load. In addition to the independent of the operations to be performed, there can occur further loads, i.e., physical environment influences. Hence the purpose of testing the work load of the disabled is to assess wide-ranging types of physical and psycho-mental loads with respect to their individual strain intensity and to develop, on the basis of the findings, appropriate proposals for career plans.
