The residual capacity for work of a person is the actual functional state of a person aged 60 years and older, which allows him to successfully perform professional, production, everyday tasks and is assessed as a percentage of the capabilities of a healthy young worker (under the age of 30). The following objective functional indicators are used to evaluate: the level of cognitive capabilities on the clinical scale (MMSE), the amount of self-service (according to the Barthel index); muscle strength of compression of the hand (the sum of the indicators of the left and right hands); assessment of the state of visual auditory and motor capabilities and the success of the corresponding correction; static balancing; tactile productivity; auditory productivity; success with the touch panel; visual productivity (the number of correct answers per minute); the number of correct answers in the test for the missed figure per minute (computer model for assessing mental productivity); the maximum number of clicks on the PC button is the computer model of the tapping test; human operative memory; vital capacity of the lungs; average time of the visual-motor reaction in milliseconds (computer model of testing); the mode of variability of the time of the visual-motor reaction in milliseconds; average response time in the mental performance test. The scale for assessing the percentage of residual human performance:
90% - 100% is characterized by the indicator of residual performance, as corresponding to the capabilities of young people.
70% - 89% are characterized by the indicator of residual disability, how it is possible to use labor in production, but the class of tension and gravity should not exceed class 2.
50% - 69% describes how it is possible to increase the efficiency of activities using gerontotechnology
20% - 49% is characterized as an overstrain of the functional systems of the body, require a deeper correction.
1% - 19% need technologies of supervision, support and “tips”, social activity is narrowing [8].
The term "residual human performance" was conceptually proposed by academician D. Chebotarev . and professor Stezhenskaya E.I. [1] as a designation of the residual portion of a person’s working ability of pre-retirement age. Semantically, the term denoted the general working ability of an elderly person, but the term was abstract in nature.
The innovative development of technology has significantly changed the nature of many professions, especially physical labor. Today, the contribution of physical efforts to total industrial production does not exceed 10%. Thus, the standards of overall performance for people of different ages have decreased. Proved biomedical feasibility of physical activity and the rational organization of labor. This expands the possibilities of attracting older people to work in retirement. A constant increase in the requirements of the workplace for cognitive opportunities involves continuous training and retraining of staff. In this regard, there was a need for a quantitative characterization of the justification of the residual performance of a person aged 60 years and older, for an individual assessment of working capacity and legal capacity. The standards for an objective assessment of human functional capabilities have been developed [2-8]. The functionality that determines 47.54% of the actual performance of people aged 60 - 89 years is reliably due to accelerated aging. A study of residual working capacity in people over 60 years of age showed that close to 57% of elderly people and 96.7% of senile people need ergonomic innovations at work and at home to increase physical independence from outside help and compensate for age-related decline in working capacity. The study showed that the residual performance of people over 60 is due to the following factors: vocational-labor 17.04%, family-household 15.31%, health 12.74%, physical activity 12.73%, nutritional status 10.53% [2-8].
