[Rational occupational arrangements for disabled epileptics].

Five hundred epileptics working at common enterprises of various industries were examined in order to evaluate the character of their work arrangements. It was established that in 76% of the patients, the working arrangements were quite rational whilst in 24% they were not. On the material provided by the latter group, the author outlined the factors that negatively affect the mechanisms of biological compensation and the stability of social and occupational adaptation. The quality of occupational recommendations in 10 administrative areas of the RSFS R was also studied. It was revealed that the proportion of those rationally employed is higher among the disabled whose occupational recommendations contain references to the nature and conditions of a desirable job and also to the character of personality changes in a given individual.
