• Upper extremities: finger and manual dexterities, grasping, overhead activities

• Lower extremities: walking, bending, stooping, lifting, climbing, carrying, weight bearing on leg(s), pushing, pulling

• General limitations: loss of strength, stamina, and restriction of mobility

The counselor needs to focus on the remaining permanent functional limitations and show how they have affected the individual in work, school or other activities, and/or show how the limitations will affect the individual in future job selection.

The counselor needs to determine if the individual has the ability to retrain or otherwise acquire needed skills for jobs he/she can handle with the remaining functional capacities.
