In impairment notation, LE stands for which body part?

• A. Left Eye
• B. Lower Extremity
• C. Lumbar Elbow
• D. Lateral Elbow

Answer: (B)

In impairment notation, LE stands for Lower Extremity, the body region that includes the legs from hip to foot. This shorthand helps categorize impairments by the part of the body affected, and it’s commonly paired with UE for Upper Extremity. The other options don’t fit standard impairment terminology: Left Eye isn’t typically abbreviated LE in this context (eye care uses terms like OS/OD), and Lumbar Elbow or Lateral Elbow aren’t recognized body-part categories in impairment notation.
