51         Impairment is system or function based. A single injury may give rise to multiple losses of function and, therefore, multiple impairments. When more than one table applies in respect of that injury, separate scores should be allocated to each functional impairment. To obtain the whole person impairment in respect of that injury, those scores are then combined using the combined values chart in Appendix 1 to this Guide unless the notes in the instructions in this Guide specifically stipulate that the scores are to be added. (For instance, see Section 9.8.1 (Abnormal motion of digits).)
