Systematic and effective welfare for the disabled is possible when there are scientific and objective criteria demonstrating either presence or severity of the impairment. We need our own scientific criteria suitable for our culture and society, since the impairment is influenced by them. In 2007, we established the Developing Committee of Korean Academy of Medical Sciences (KAMS) Guideline for Impairment Rating under KAMS supervision. We included all fixed and permanent physical impairments after a sufficient medical treatment. The impairment should be stable and medically measurable. If not, it should be reevaluated later. We benchmarked the American Medical Association Guides. The KAMS Guideline should be scientific, objective, valid, reasonable and practical. In particular, we tried to secure objectivity. We developed the KAMS Guideline for Impairment Rating.
当存在科学客观的标准来证明损伤的存在或严重程度时，为残疾人提供系统有效的福利才有可能实现。由于损伤会受到文化和社会的影响，我们需要适合本国文化和社会的科学标准。2007年，我们在韩国医学科学院（KAMS）的监督下成立了损伤评级指南制定委员会。我们纳入了经过充分医学治疗后的所有固定性和永久性身体损伤。损伤应是稳定的且可通过医学手段测量。如果不满足此条件，则应在之后重新评估。我们以美国医学协会指南为基准。KAMS指南应科学、客观、有效、合理且实用。特别是，我们努力确保其客观性。我们制定了KAMS损伤评级指南。
