Abstract

This article presents the characteristics of activity limitations caused by lung cancer, considering clinical data, stages of the disease, and severity of the disability. The dynamics shows that the restrictions of the first, second, and third degrees relating to self-care, movement, and labor activity make up the largest share in the structure of activity limitations, while the restrictions of the first, second, and third degrees relating to communication constitute the smallest share.

Keywords: activity limitations; disability; impairment; lung cancer.
