An Impairment rating is where specific guidelines are used by the physician who will determine what % of function of that body part has been lossed due to injury/condition etc... For example if you are a construction worker and lets say you lose your left little toe, the Impairment rating may be 4% to the whole foot and 1% to the lower extremity..because the loss is greater to the foot but to your whole leg it is not AS big of loss if that makes since. Then this % is given a money value depending on your states worker comp laws etc..and you may be due a specific sum of money.

An impairment rating is a rating that tries to assign a value to your best recovered state after an injury. Lets say that you had normal grip strength and now you have 75% of that grip strength. There are tests and charts and exams etc.. that can determine what percentage this would be. Every state can be different because it involves workers comp too. So the orthopedist may determine that you have a 15% impairment rating to your hand as a whole and 3% to the arm as a whole. Then you would have to see how much that translates to under your work comp laws.
