Dear Professor,

Thank you for the interesting topic of discussion.

As far as my knowledge on these matters go, 'disability' is the lack of ability to do something. That may arise due to various reasons. 'impairment' can be one of the reasons.

'Impairment' is a word that can be linked to some sort of abnormality.

Therefore, when put together, it can be said that 'disability' is the effect and 'impairment' is the cause. Though, it also has to be said these two words may not necessarily be put together.

Best regards,

Anamitra.

Impairment refers to a problem with a structure or organ of the body. Disability is a functional limitation with regard to a particular activity. Handicap refers to an environmental factor preventing the filling of a normal life role.

Impairment, Disability, or Handicap?

Disability is commonly viewed as a problem that exists in a person's body and requires medical treatment. The social model of disability, by contrast, distinguishes between impairment and disability, identifying the latter as a disadvantage that stems from a lack of fit between a body and its social environment.Apr 11, 2015

Disability is the absence of competent physical, intellectual and moral power. Impairment is a condition in which a part of a person's mind or body is damaged or is not working properly. Sometimes, it is a cause of disability.

Impairment is defined as “any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological or anatomical structure or function.” Disability, on the other hand, means “any restriction or lack (resulting from an impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being.” ...Nov 9, 2018

Disability usually refers to difficulty carrying out tasks or activities of daily life. The patient can't take care of him or herself. For example, disability from a back injury might mean the person can no longer get dressed or bathe without help. Impairment describes problems at the tissue level.

Disability from the person himself but impairment come from surroundings

The American Medical Association (AMA), in its document Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, distinguishes clearly between impairment and disability. Impairment is a medical concept involving a change in one’s health status. Impairment results from illness or disease. Disability, on the other hand, is a non-medical phenomenon, essentially the difference between an impaired individual’s capacities and the social or occupational demands of a particular situation. Disability is a vocational concept.
