title: [Evaluation of residual working capacity with lung function studies].
abstract: Lung diseases are one of the most frequent causes of permanent occupational disability. The assessment of the insured person's remaining ability to work by evaluating the respiratory parameters is by no means trivial. Nevertheless, no clear overview has been published yet. In this paper tables and evaluation schemes are presented for the quick and reliable assessment of the degree of the occupational disability of persons with respiratory diseases.
