         Only one rating may be had from this table for any given condition. Intermittent conditions may attract a rating from Table 15.5 as well as a rating or ratings from either Table 15.4 or the system specific tables.

No age adjustment permitted for this table

The rating obtained in Step 10 is not to be compared with the rating obtained in Step 9, nor are ratings to be combined at this stage. Irrespective of the outcome of Step 9 the rating obtained from Table 15.5 is to be included in the final combining of all ratings.

Intermittent Impairment Worksheets
A set of Intermittent Impairment Worksheets (pages 178 to 179) is designed to facilitate the calculation of intermittent impairment rating.
Intermittent Impairment Worksheet (1) is to be used in those cases where all the attacks are grouped into a single type of attack.
Intermittent Impairment Worksheet (2) is to be used in those cases where the attacks are grouped into two or three types.
No worksheet is provided for those cases where more than three types of attacks are involved.

CHAPTER 16

ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING

INTRODUCTION

The Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are a defined set of activities necessary for normal self-care. The activities are movement in bed, transfers, locomotion, dressing, personal hygiene, and feeding.

These six activities are defined as follows:
    "movement in bed" means sitting in, rising from, and moving around in, bed;
    "transfers" means moving from one seat to another, changing position from sitting to standing, and transferring to and from the toilet and bed;
    "locomotion" means walking on the level, on gentle slopes and down stairs;
    "dressing" means
