title: [The assessment of invalidity in bronchial asthma (author's transl)].
abstract: In contrast to the assessment of the vocational activity there are no fixed principles with regard to the application of defined methods of examination and the interpretation of its results. The assessment cannot be based only on the results of pulmonary function testing but has to take into consideration also the frequency and severity of the troubles, their dependence on vocational influence and their therapeutic management. The result of the function test using all given possibilities is essential. Sometimes are of decisive importance the arrangement of a mitable place of employment, the patient attitude to his disease and his vocational activities. In this paper proposals are given for a complex assessment of the physical capacity and invalidity in bronchial asthma.
