[Work capacity status after acute craniocerebral trauma]

The working capacity of 1,855 patients after craniocerebral trauma (CCT) was analysed. A unified approach to the diagnosis of the type and severity of the CCT in all stages of the follow-up and to active complex treatment was recorded. The chances of restoration of working capacity are higher in young individuals, males, those engaged in intellectual work, and in persons with trauma suffered in everyday life. The possibility of disability is high in persons of prepension age, females, persons engaged in qualified physical work, and in trauma suffered at work. Medical factors, the severity of the trauma and reversibility of the deficiency signs have a more marked and significant effect on the condition of the working capacity at the outcome of CCT.
