Medical - Medical: Health Care / Worker's Compensation
English term or phrase: light/full duty
I often interpret at WC-related medical appointments. When the idea of light or full duty comes up, I phrase it as 'con/sin límites.' Is there a better way to phrase 'light/full duty' in Spanish?

trabajo ligero/trabajo regular


Explanation:
I've worked in labor law hearings for many years. When a worker has certain restrictions because of an illness or injury (light no standing for prolonged periods of time, no lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs., etc.), the worker is placed on light duty until a full release from the doctor is obtained. The worker may be able to go back to full duty with restrictions, like the ones mentioned above.

Con/sin restricciones

I've also seen it translated as "labores ligeras".
